What Surprises Me Is-even Though Discrimination Against Women And Racial Discrimination Still Exist, They Have Improved A Lot, Especially Among Artists. And Just When I Felt I Could Finally Take A Break, I Encounter The Age Discrimination. I Turned 72 And Started Noticing A Drastic Difference In People's Attitudes. I Started With Racism And Sexism In The Beginning And Fought Them So Hard And Was Finally Ready To Relax. Then, Here Comes Ageism, And I Feel Like, "give Me A Break!"

I Wonder Why Men Can Get Serious At All. They Have This Delicate Long Thing Hanging Outside Their Bodies, Which Goes Up And Down By Its Own Will. First Of All, Having It Outside Your Body Is Terribly Dangerous. If I Were A Man I Would Have A Fantastic Castration Complex To The Point That I Wouldn't Be Able To Do A Thing. Second, The Inconsistency Of It, Like Carrying A Chance Time Alarm Or Something. If I Were A Man I Would Always Be Laughing At Myself.

The Boats Outside The Window Were Always Still I Wondered If One Of Them Would Take Me To The Ocean.
