Metaphysically or Otherwise

What was the thought that made you pretzel up?
What brought you to this awkward place?
It couldn’t have been too abrupt.
Not long ago you had a face.

You sit and make your knuckles crack.
You feel as stupid as a cow.
What to think to turn you back?
How the devil are you thinking now?

Metaphysically or otherwise,
was this your fault?
All you can surmise
is, you could use some salt.
