Making a list of dead languages
That no one does understand
Searching through the scattered fragments
Of unknown lands
Sitting next to Jimmy
Building castles in the sand
Riding on a bicycle
Through town
Blocking out the city sounds
On the way to library
Looking for a book on Pygmees
He’s a captive among the natives
Longing to be free
Listening to the sirr sirr
Of the swallows
Finding all words hollow
All things laughable
Do away with sorrow
Cause all beauty is unrepeatable
