Poems for the Speed of Life

Ep. 175: "As I Began to Love Myself" (Anonymous)

Note: This episode is in a new format. I read the poem twice through and then talk a little about why it's on the podcast and what it might be saying. If you're listening on Spotify, please find the Interact question that reads "What did you think of this episode?" and let me know what you think of this experimental format!

This is a poem that's often attributed to Charlie Chaplin, but probably has a different provenance. It seems to be a product of the Internet age's connectivity, virality and collective spirit.

⁠⁠⁠You can read the poem here⁠⁠⁠
