On Having Food Poisoning

Shivers run up and down my spine
Like people in a marathon 
While shot puts
Get heaved across my stomach.

Javelins fly through my intestines
Like birds-
Determined to go south for the winter.

And you stand in my door way-
Apology smeared on your face-

Like that chicken had been smeared in disease.
