I run fast <br />Faster than a tortoise. <br />I dive in the sea <br />Close to the shore. <br />I climb mountains <br />Like an ant. <br />Now I am old <br />Older than a Museum. <br />But I run fast <br />Faster than a run away horse. <br />I dive in the sea <br />Somewhere in the bottomless. <br />I climb the mountains <br />Like a Mountaineer. <br />Oh! This old age like a Ghost <br />And I know the fruitless journey is short <br />Yes, shorter than a dwarf. <br /> <br />* To my poor dearest Mom!
