Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth Jumbled events that have less than no worth Time in the forest to dig under rocks Or float in the ocean asleep in a box Or sink just below all the churning and froth And swim to the light source or fly like a moth So toss away stuff you don't need in the end But keep what's important and know who's your friend So I ask you why if I'm swimming by, Don't you see anything that you'd like to try?
