Suddenly Sick

Mike Berger

Screaming in agony, rushing to
her side.
On her knees, bent over the toilet.
Body shaking as she wretched.

Couldn’t stop gagging to tell me
what was wrong. Had she
suddenly taken violently ill?

Nothing unusual about the
morning; she looked great.
Ate breakfast and drank coffee.

Bright eyed after her shower;
not a sign of anything wrong.
Went to the bathroom to brush
her teeth.

Foul odors filled the air as
she continued to gag. Rubbing
her back, I tried to calm. Whatever
it was it came on so suddenly.

Couldn’t help myself,
started to laugh. They’re on the
vanity, was her toothbrush and my
tube of hemorrhoid cream.
