Episode Synopsis

Reverse Triage is a taut, atmospheric spoken-word poem by Kate Earley about a quiet office hallway that turns into an unexpected scene of collapse and hesitation.With stark, cinematic language, Kate captures the suspended moment when everyday routine fractures—the hum of fluorescent lights, the echo of unanswered calls, and the fragile choice to act.Perfect for fans of contemporary poetry, narrative suspense, and reflections on human instinct, this episode explores the bystander effect and the thin line between ordinary life and crisis.Copyright ©2025 Kate Earley Music: Mariage d’Amour by RabanSeptember 24, 2025
