Soup Part II
by Kayley Dao '25

Soup. I want soup, but do I need soup?

It’s nice weather for soup, but I’m not that hungry. Maybe a snack would work?

But everything left in the pantry is too sugary or too bland.
Why am I thinking about soup? I need to be productive.
Progress is key…But is it?
Yes. Progress, progress, progress.
Work, think, write, play. I should break.
Yea, break now, you’ve worked enough. You can go back later.
Yea…I’ll take a break. But what should I do?
Watch a Youtube video? Maybe learn more origami?
Yea.
Sure. What was I saying?
Right, soup. Maybe I should make soup.
No, there aren't enough ingredients; besides, you don’t know how to make soup.
Oh, right. I should head to my room then. This is a comfy blanket.
No, I should think about music. Yeah, I should practice some music.
Back to the piano I go then.
Play, play, play. C, G, D, A7, F.
This is tiring.
Yeah, I should go to bed.
Yeah. I guess I’ll just watch some shorts.
