echolalia

echolalian 

echo-location 

finds me where?

a lack e acumen; 

black pepper and cumin

or is it turmeric? 

i use all three for safety and

dod on and dod well, 

two is too many bills

moving like a statue, 

a foot-soldier, 

mystified and amused

das kapital 

to cap it all

ex marx the blues

a lot of my poetry comes from echolalia. daft little phrases just get stuck in my head and i want to say them just for the pleasure of the words moving through my mouth.

moving like a statue was a funny thing i heard in a podcast. the speaker meant that they were moved to an emotional response, like they might have on seeing a great work of statuary. but i heard it literally, and my brain said no, statues do not tend to move.
