Memoirs - 1

I sit a while here
pondering this torrid existence.
I sit a while here
willing the passing of time.
I sit a while here
submerged in a pool of deep water.
I sit a while here
waiting to be picked up.

I sit a while here
watching bubbles slowing rising.
I sit a while here
awaiting the burning sensation.
I sit a while here
feeling my backside heating.
I sit a while here
making unsynchronised fidgety moves.

I sit a while here
watching my neighbours tremble.
I sit a while here
trembling in harmony with them.
I sit a while here
feeling the ever increasing heat.
I sit a while here
suffering the agony of pain.

I sit a while here
contemplating my unfortunate fate.
I sit a while here
as I begin to lose consciousness.
I sit a while here
murmuring silently for help.
I sit a while here
accepting the undeniable outcome.

I sit a while here
slowly closing my eyes.
I sit a while here
giving my selfless self up.
I sit a while here
amidst the unending silence.
I sit a while here
as I perish through the ages.

- confessions of a hard boiled egg.
