Busy with thoughts;
I'm busy all day,
Busy with thoughts
Of what others say.

I assort them, I stack them,
I arrange them in piles;
I discard some, I keep some,
I place them in files.

In the oceans of words,
I am seeking to find
The ever-elusive
Thoughts of mankind.

Thus, casting my nets,
I am busy all day
Searching for thoughts
That go ever astray.
