29 – By repeating your



by repeating your mistakes, you engender confidence

by repeating your name neatly on the first line

your mistakes eventually become expert


a deadly mantra repeating

repeating tremor an enigma of confidence

you speak percussively, repeating possession


by repeating your errors you establish traditions

by repeating your repeating you’re repeating your repeating

mistakes you’ll be successful at failure


by repeating your ripe torpidity

tall tales you become an urban legend


by repeating what Angela said

by repeating the choir of echolalia,

rehearsing syllables twice

repeating sounds, you establish your language


your echopraxia will march in step

your thank you thank you thank you troops

repeat myself


remember everything you say

in an unproductive way

overcome with the redone


go to bed go to bed go to bed go to bed

why are you out of bed?

I know
