“Om klim kalikayei namaha. Om kleem kah-lee-kah-yea nah-mah-hah”

which does not translate in any literal way to:

“Health and Knowledge and Wealth and Power/
Passion and Poems and Sex/

I wear a smile like a leather glove…”*

or even:

“In the land of the blind:
KING/
KING/
KING/
KING/”

Some say prayers/
Some say prayers/

I say mine.“**

But it can, on a good day.
It absolutely can.
