#42 - A poem that campaigns for slow dances with lovers and strangers

In this episode, I read "Slow Dance" by Matthew Dickman. Matthew writes of slow dances with strangers and with lovers, with siblings and with orangutans and what they feel like. By the end of the poem he reminds you of any that you might have had and makes you envious if you haven't yet slow danced with someone. Read, listen, and the next time you have the mauka bhi and dastoor bhi, please hold that hand and lean in!       The poem I read can be accessed here - https://allyourprettywords.tumblr.com/post/120985473153/slow-dance-matthew-dickman  The host, Ravneet Bawa as -   @one_third_above on Instagram   @maikeya on Twitter   Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com                          Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.
