LOVE POEM FOR AN APOCALYPSE Dave Lucas I wish I'd met you after everything had burned, after the markets crash and global sea levels rise. The forests scorched. The grasslands trespassed. My love, it is a whole life's work to disappear— ask the god with his head in the wolf's mouth or the serpent intent on swallowing all the earth. Ask the senate subcommittee for market solutions for late capitalism and early-onset dementia. You and a bird Au could make me believe in fate. I think we might be happy in the end, in the dark of a hollow tree, a seed bank or blast-proof bunker, if only you would sing the song I love, you know the one about our precious eschatology, the one I always ask to hear to lull me back to sleep.

Photo of a poem that reads: she is listless when she comes to me at 3:46 in the morning. heart the foggy color of exhaustion and eyes welling with something honest that he is too afraid to meet. she asks when do things start getting better? and i tell her that they don’t until better is demanded. that we are products of struggle and sometimes there is no way to convince the heart that this is beautiful.

Comparing it to 2/24 the LAG3+PD1+ is more elevated (was .33 now is 1.22)-- LAG3+: T cell activation marker PD1+: T cell activation marker your CD8 cells are being activated against "something"- usually an infection. CXCR5, ICOS+, PD1+: defines T follicular helper cell. Its a bit low again (went from 3.05 to 2.03). these are the cells that tell b cells to make antibodies. CD45RA Cd25+Cd1271low/- Usually we worry if its too high (in autoimmune cases this occurs). I've spoken with Amerimmune and there isnt a specific treatment for this one but paints a general case of some immune dysfunction. CD38-CD27+Cd317+: was 1.93 and now is 4.55 For my own interest, i ran this at the tail end of my pneumonia and it was around there. So i think this is all infectious markers.

In Scranton on Wednesday, Matt Wolfson, a 45-year-old former construction worker, looked around at poverty in the Rust Belt city and thought the nation needed a change in leadership. Wolfson said he didn't love the dictatorial aspect of Trump's personality, but thought it could help keep the country out of wars and maybe bring peace to some other conflicts, including in Ukraine. "He's good and bad. People say he's a dictator. I believe that. I consider him like Hitler," Wolfson said. "But I voted for the man."
