Liquified Brain

Vagrant tears have been rolling out of my left eye nonstop, interrupting my evening and playing tricks on my otherwise sunny disposition. My eye is clearly malfunctioning because I am not sad! Why is this happening?

In any case, I immediately thought of this quote:
“the tears stream down my cheeks from my unblinking eyes. what makes me weep so? from time to time. there is nothing saddening here. perhaps it is liquified brain.” (Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable)
Beckett fascinates me -- his life, his literature, his lore... He's just way too much amazingness for my little mind to handle.
