Palilalia

of course i always planned to finish college but instead i returned home like the parabolic parodical son with no degree and a lingering fear of schools

grandpa too had a nervous breakdown in college smart and dilligent as he was and now he’s a drop-out with a good pension and shelves of books on medieval warfare

even when history doesn’t mean to repeat itself it stammers stutters and says the same words again in an unconscious whisper like i would when i was seven
