How about columnsets or paragraphs?

\definecolumnset[Zwei][n=2]
\startcolumnset[Zwei]
\startlines
Starlight, star bright,
first star I see tonight;
\stoplines
\column
\startlines
I wish I may, I wish I might
have the wish I wish tonight.
\stoplines
\stopcolumnset


\defineparagraphs[Zwei][n=2]
\setupparagraphs[Zwei][1][
   width=.45\textwidth, distance=2em,
   align={verytolerant,stretch}]
% width of 2nd column is calculated automatically

\startZwei
...
\nextZwei
...
\stopZwei
