I work in a rural state in healthcare and we have thousands of people waiting to be seen. This and the bill that will cut thousands of people from Medicaid will not help. Trump does not care about the health of Americans. #medsky

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.
Poem title: At the Intersection
 
The poem is divided into two overlapping circles.
 
The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads:
the day we
went out to have
an ice-cream, we said nothing
just let our silence melt in
the air as we walked across the common
our love never tiring at all
 
The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads:
we should
have talked it over but
nothing ever seems to get
in your fat head. You are so
common that I wish we’d never met
at all and I’d married Tim instead
 
In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads:
we
have
nothing
in
common
at all
