Jan Oskar Hansen Poems

Fairground of the mad

Around and around it goes
Lies are better than truths

fight an army that shoots back with sharp bullets

braked hard and the can of lager fell out of my hand.
We country folk drinks a lot; the police never stop you

still warm from the woman who sat there
she won`t be coming back.
...

Continuity
Inside the greenhouse
I laid out dead roses
And the smell of spent
