Relaxants Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

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.
