The given extract " But believe me son I want to be when I was like you. I want to unlearn all these muting ining. Most of all I want to relearn how to laugh.'' is taken from Gabirel Okara's "Once upon a time".

1) The qualities of childhood that the poet wants to relive once again is to laugh to his heart's content. As in our childhood we laugh without having any tension or dilemma in our life, the poet wants to relive those days.

2) The poet wants to unlearn all the mutings of life which brings sadness and silence in life.
