A Cookie Full of Bullets

I open my package of
oatmeal raisin, chocolate chips cookies
I scraped away the sun dried devils 
and devoured the chocolate chips of course 
but something felt funny, so I forced
my finger down my throat and puked 
up my lunch, the yellow,green concoction 
contradicted the lead filled little bites of death
and I also spit up some blood as well 
stomach pains and heart palpitations
were my best friends for the next 3 months 
reminding me that if I ever buy cookies 
online again make sure the package 
doesn't say "from Russia with love..."
