I sat down in the study...and I bent all of my spoons.

I sat down in the study...and the spoons wont work now

I tried to unbend them, but they aren't very flexbile.

I want to unbend them, but they have no elasticity.

I don't know how I bent them...

I sat down in the study...and I ripped apart an airplane

I walked around the study...and I tore it out of life

It had zero passengers, but I killed them all anyway.

It ripped into pieces, but there was no debris.

It crashed into the ocean...but there weren't any ripples.

I blew into my root beer...and I made lots of bubbles.

I blew into the root beer...and there were lots of bubbles...bubbles.

But some of them popped...and other ones didn't

they made a fizzy noise, but I couldn't hear it

the foam multiplies...but I cannot control it.

"sigh"

I almost connected in a few lines here but I'm still not sure what the poem is all about or why you wrote it. Communication. It's central to all the genres. Boy, I must be having a bad night! I'm lost again!

it's open to interpretations.

This reads akwardly, I'd suggest revising -won't work-, -they aren't very flexible- and -have no elasticity- to something of the same effect just maybe worded differently?
but from there I could really follow the flow of the thought.
Interesting piece, the end made me connect this to the circumstances being out of our hands, the loss of control.

I found this interesting - reminded me of the film "Unbreakable" for some reason. I enjoyed the contrast of the very big vs the very small - planes and spoons, oceans and root beer. The power of the imagination, and the fear of idle coincidence all came out for me....
