Translated by djbambi
Target language: English

Who is on the wall and walking about? Cockroaches, Figments [of the imagination], Martians, a Clock
Remarks about the translation
The form of the verb used for walking implies that it is not in a single direction, but rather hither and thither. The word that I translated as figments [of the imagination] is usually used in the context of "I began to see things" with the noun "things" being the one used in this case. I of course added the [of the imagination] to further clarify. Less poetic, however more informative. You will notice that the word for clocks is the plural form of the word "hour", meaning of course "hours", which is how they refer to a clock in russian.
