The Vomiting Feather

The Vomiting Feather. (Social media post screenshot.)

"The Vomiting Feather" is a short poem by Karl Jones.

The Vomiting Feather

Context: "things that make you sick"

A: "Oh, man, I just ate five donuts, and I feel sick."

B: "If I had my vomiting feather, I'd share it with you."

Commentary

Context: "I saw that you retook the pic of you vomiting."

Oh, that's not me vomiting.

I cannot rule out the possibility that the vomit is mine.

But the individual doing the vomiting is a stranger whose picture I found via web search.

Unless it's a picture of a friend, or even myself, which I fail to recognize.
