I am home. I have been learning about Basiliximab all day and only just now learned how to pronounce it. It is Ba sil ik si mab. IL-2 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS are love if ever there was love.
In The House
by Stephen Dunn
I am attracted by the dust
and silence of an upper shelf,
the strange air
that causes linoleum
to bulge in the cellar.
I know the walls come to hug
like grizzlies
if you stare at them too long,
and the kitchen knife
wants to be held.
I sense the aromas of sex,
the delicate, stale drift
of arguments and spite
no amount of cleaning will solve.
I know when love goes
it slips through the insulation,
forgets your name,
becomes sky.
