L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Circumstances Yet Unknown

I am planning to come this way again, I swear
Circumstances of my future stay yet unknown,
My status, caste, or the native clothes I’ll wear
I am planning to come this way again, I swear
Maybe next time with a less disarming flair,
A concerted effort to be more laissez faire
Less the activist, perhaps, more like a drone,
I am planning to come this way again, I swear
Circumstances of my future stay yet unknown.

Caren Krutsinger February 7, 2022 at 11:24 AM I really hope we will see this in all of the returnees Hank. I think this is the key "A concerted effort to be more laissez faire" L Milton Hankins February 7, 2022 at 11:59 AM Thanks so much, Caren. I believe so.
