one minute of anger

One minute of anger wakens 
the immune system for 4 to 5 
hours. The immune system 
itself is angry. It's pissed. It 
wants to kill, and who 
does it have access to? That's 
right. Naturally it knows 
who boss is. You die it dies. 
So it seethes and fumes 
for a few hours, poisoning 
you in unimportant ways 
it knows it can flush out 
and buff up later, and 
it gets over it. 

Fucking immune system 
Grow up 

One minute of laughter meanwhile 
- if it is your own immune system 
you laugh at? That ridicule booster 
shot has a delightful effect, perversely! 
Your immune system laughs and laughs, 
and weakens to debility by hilarity, but 
totally gets over it if nothing invasive 
turns up in seven to forty days. Who 

would have thunk it? The immune 
system! 

You've got a sense of humor after all 
buddy
