Soup

I don't have a brain.

I have brain soup.

I can't think.

I can't feel.

I can't hear.

I can't sleep.

I don't remember anything good.

Who are my friends?

What do I like to do for fun?

Where do I call home?

I can only remember pain.

Everything I say comes out as word salad.

Gibberish.

Nonsense.

Hogwash.

Few can understand me.

Those who do wish not to.

I am a machine with a missing bolt.

Each crazy, contorted, clunky motion further damages me.

More motion, more damage.

More damage, more crazy.

More crazy, more damage.

A toilet bowl of doom.

Spiraling.

Down.

Down!

DOWN!

Faster.

Faster!

FASTER!

Until I am amongst the waste of the world.

I guess it also means I feel no pain.
