the side effects

she shows me her arm
after the flu
shot.

it's about three times the size
of her other arm.

she's cut all the sleeves
off her clothes
to get them on.

and it hurts she says.
pointing
a what looks like a red
button

the size of a half dollar
where the needle
went in.

otherwise, i'm good
she says.

except for the headache
and when i move
my eyes from side to side

real fast, like this.
ouch.
