    Description

    Today’s poem is The Figure of a Man Being Swallowed by a Fish by Joshua Weiner.
    The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Today’s poem dramatizes the hidden transaction of our obsessions. We are claimed by the world as much as we take in — sometimes, even more.”
