1228: Shelf Life by Nathan Xavier Osorio
Update: 2024-10-30
Description
Today’s poem is Shelf Life by Nathan Xavier Osorio. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, Major writes… “There’s something sad, sometimes, about taking in all of the country from the fringes. I used to view the highway as a symbol of escape and possibility. Now, I view the road as a complex portal to our great melancholy. Today’s poem exposes a thin veil of desolation on the surface of life. It’s as if we are all waiting for something magical to happen, to lift us out of our collective spiritual anguish.”
