insouciant
— adjective
free from concern, worry, or anxiety; carefree; nonchalant.
Can barely pronounce it,
Vaguely recall it.
When I was twelve,
Lived by the Atlantic Ocean,
On my red cycled steed,
Disappeared, roaming for days.
My parents were not insouciant,
Tho I surely was, by definition.
Perhaps
Someday,
Will feel that way again,
Recognizing the carelessness of living life
Without regrets, worries, all kinds of
bills to pay,
Re-collecting payments made
From my freedom, my early days.
But I wonder to you, H.
If my life was indeed insouciant,
Would my poetry be any good?

Time out please.
Piece of cake.
