The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Today’s poem illustrates the extent to which people will fabricate narratives to come off more gallant, more caring, more whatever, or simply not what they actually are. And yet, it unearths the human desires that show us why we lie.”
