נוֹלַדְתִּי בַּיּוֹם בּוֹ הֻמְצָא הַקּוֹלְנוֹעַ. בַּגִּלְגּוּל הַקּוֹדֵם
הָיִיתִי הַמַּקֵּל שֶׁל צַ'רְלִי צַ'פְּלִין, תַּחְתּוֹנֶיהָ שֶׁל
מֶרִילִין מוֹנְרוֹ, הָאֶקְדָּח שֶׁל גֵּרִי קוּפֶּר, גַּלְגַּל
בְּאוֹפַנּוֹעוֹ שֶׁל גֵּ'ימְס דִּין.
מֵאָז אֲנִי נוֹדֵד, שׁוֹמֵר עַל מְקוֹמוֹת קְדוֹשִׁים,
רוֹצֶה לִירוֹת בְּמִי שֶׁנִּמְלַט וּמְאֹהָב בִּנְשִׁיקַת
הָאַסְפַלְט.
יוֹם אֶחָד, אוּלַי,
אֶעֱשֶׂה מִזֶּה סֶרֶט.
