Poet's Showcase Living with Humans by Jesse Nathan
A fragmentary meditation on urban life and memory set in a dim neighborhood. The speaker uses vivid imagery such as a dull pink and a black Volvo to explore fate and wandering. The piece probes the quiet beneath everyday surfaces and the seedy reality of a gas station corner.
