Laissez-faire
I read about an old lady. When asked what keeps her so happy at such a ripe age, she said, “I have no future to look forward to”.
At the foothills of vintage ageyou feel perceptibly less somberfor there are only meager remainsof mostly forgotten days - little to smile, rue or cry forand an amorphousyet obligingly finite future - trifling to put together or fight for.❉So dear Chandra:here is a congratulation:It must be awesome -this imminent privilege of geriatricsand this stolen bit of transient freedom; the real laissez-faire to yearn and to die for.timorously cajoledfrom time’s exacting, puritan dictum. © Chandra S. 2019
