Repetition
You repeat and post the same letter,
Again and again and again,
As if reinforcement renders things better,
And the litany melts away pain.
You reiterate, as though amnesia,
Distorts all the temporal thought,
As if restatement invokes analgesia
And offers some means of retort.
You replicate, chapter and verses,
Retreading the same weary road,
As if recurrence lifts self-imposed curses,
Confabulation lightens the load.
You recap photocopies of sleight,
In loops of a cyclic encore,
No meaning, just boredom and blight
We’ve all seen and heard it before.
