There were warning signs
small indications that, perhaps
These chicken wings weren't for you
but you bought them anyway
The red and green specks in the coating
where the peppercorns and onion floated around
flashing lights to all who saw them
They sizzled away in the oven
and the smell travelled through the kitchen
firecrackers landed on the porcelain plates
and coloured oil made their way towards the fries
Initial taste - you grabbed the taste of the tomato
as you sunk your teeth into succulent chicken
but seconds later - you're reaching out for the water pitcher
Tongue and Lips tingling, as you're hit by the scotch bonnets
