Echolalia


The words — they tumble out 
From some mysterious inner source,
 Impelled by thoughts, emotions, memories;
 Triggered by images and events… 
How much of what we say is conscious, 
And how much automatic: stimulus, 
Leading to response, 
 While our hearts are off, dancing, 
Somewhere else altogether?
