Jan Oskar Hansen Poet Sonnet

Relaxants

Relaxants 

Someone was coming to look at my house,
it is for sale, they should be here at three.
Not being used to people I took 5 milligram 
Valium… they didn´t arrive at three, I took
a pill of ten milligram.

Now I was totally relaxed, made coffee and 
asked myself why should have to wait.
for people who can´t keep time. I felt a bit 
drowsy and fell asleep, heard knocking on 
my door but didn´t bother to open.

Spiders web hang from the beams and my 
dog who has been dead for ten years still is
on a carpet in the hall. Would be buyers will
only come  in to complain, who needs that.

Kathryn Collins September 16, 2013 at 7:26 AM Stay away from the pills. Just withdrew from oxycodone. It was great while it lasted. Jan Oskar Hansen September 16, 2013 at 12:52 PM Dear Kathy, I do, but sometimes I have to take a 5 ml valium, I have a phobia about speaking in public, the valium helps and it is better than reading poetry when pissed as I did in the old day.
