1014: Date

Today’s poem is Date by Taneum Bambrick. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, Major writes… “There’s nothing wrong with being attracted to people, but there is something wrong with acting on that attraction in a way that reduces them. Today’s poem invokes that captive feeling, and asks what it leaves just under the surface.”
