It’s strange how you sink, kangaroo
and if I show you a straw
you mostly only stare at me

you never thought
why cows do not sprout
but are always born
as calves, kangaroo

cool when you learned to swim
that’s a fact
but some shadows were there
from the day of your birth
you didn’t eat gorgonzola
there was hair on your fingertips
and something cockadoodledo
was in how you turned around,
were you at all aware,
Caravaggio was a psychopath
cried each time he saw a radish
But where’s the way to Mt. Crim, kangaroo

you stole our shoes
you turned around a snipe
you wanted to make slices from time
but time is always time
only, it’s in the shadow
it sticks together at the right hour, kangaroo

let’s try to say Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo
you see you see it works
could we say also Esplanade

so it is as I thought kangaroo
you may not have typhus exactly
but it’s not much better
it’s strange how you sink kangaroo
even if I threw you a tractor
I bet you would peel and eat it
but a tractor is not for that kangaroo
a tractor is how one gets
from the water
we peel and eat an apple

shall I call your relatives, kangaroo
do you want to be a window, half of an arch
strength in numbers, kangaroo
shall I sing you something
shall I sing to you
quand un pompier
recontre un autre pompier

I will not sing you anything, kangaroo
because such a song will be sung
by your enemies
because so are the enemies
to sing such songs
