cicadas’ opus air conditioner’s low hum summer lullabies
This haiku wrote itself as I sat outside at dusk last night and realized that sounds which by themselves are annoying create a soothing background when you hear them together. Cicadas and air conditioners are the soundtrack of warm summer evenings as the apricot-indigo sky darkens on another day.

You had to ask. I truly hate cicadas. I can hardly wait until we sell this house and get out of this place. Authentic? There you have it.
They are definitely loud and obnoxious, aren’t they? But, oh no! Y’all have plans to leave? I don’t find that welcome news at all.
They are loud and ugly. It’s time to make a change. Probably to the north. We can be a little closer to my other big client while Maggie moves to Austin.
