Man & Woman

The Man is Like The Train

At 20 years he is like the local
it stops at every station

At 30 years he is like the special
it stops only at the large towns

At 40 years he is like the express
it stops at the big cities only

At 50 years he is like the old locomotive
it stops often to water

At 60 years he doesn't leave any more
it remains . . . in the yard



The Woman is Like The World

At 20 years she is like Africa
semi-explored

At 30 years she is like India
warm, mature and mysterious

At 40 years she is like America
technically perfect

At 50 years she is like Europe
all in ruin

At 60 years she is like Siberia
everyone knows where it is
But... no one wants to go
