996: A Portable Paradise
b'
Today\\u2019s poem is A Portable Paradise by Roger Robinson. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, Major writes\\u2026 \\u201cAs so much poetry reminds us, suffering is at the core of being human. Yes, we fumble along. We live a melancholic existence. Some of us protest, confess, and bring the news in our works. Yet, today\\u2019s poem wisely announces that we should always keep that place which feels like heaven within sight. We should maintain an inner utopia, even if hidden from others. It, too, is worthy of mapping in literature.\\u201d
