Text graphic featuring a portion of Jennifer Maier's poem. It reads:
each second breaks like a salt wave at your feet
and returns to the sea, which is only ever
the nowβalive and infinite. This is what time tells you:
the fact I whisper 60 times per minute
but that you will not hear. You and the others,
roused to waking only by my screams.
Photograph of poet Jennifer Maier. She has shoulder-length light brown hair and wears cat-eye-rimmed glasses.
βAll of this talk about 'my time' and 'your time' is so odd, anyway, when you think about itβas if any time is ours," host Maggie Smith shares in episode 1399 of The Slowdown.

TWO LOVERS. In one story we are two lovers scrambling up the banks of the Rhine a river Iβve never been to that Iβve read stories about in the way working class people read stories of the affluent vacationing and fucking and betraying their own brothers and stepping in front of trains that have come loose from their tracks and instead of brakes have two sad faced women waving kerchiefs from the railing of an old caboose. The thing with rivers is they crook and bend sometimes they are tidal and I have spent a lot of time writing about them. I thought our lives would crook and bend but mostly they are just the day to day which you excel at and I
am bad at. A woman wants to meet me in Chicago. A train is waiting for me. I chase it down the tracks use my kerchief to catch the railing of the caboose to hoist myself onto the little balcony. The woman is already there disappointed in me. My son my daughter two sad faces in the cabooseβs back windows. Say we are climbing the banks of the Rhine. This poem a spiral, repetition with progress. I hand you a glass of chilled beer make apologies for things I canβt control. Next time, I whisper, I will be a naked beauty a face carved in a rocky cliff the answer to a question you havenβt asked yet. Rebecca Lehmann
