I jumped into the lake the bear too<br>jumped in, a better swimmer, but as it was going to <br>catch me, I ducked, swam up behind it, mounted <br>the beast- like a cowboy- and gripped my fingers on <br>the liberal skin folds of its fat neck. Howling angry <br>the bear swam in circles but couldn’t shake me off, <br>when it beat swam for shore I let go, the poor brute <br>crawled ashore and tired scuttled into the woods.<br>I followed a barely visible track and came to a town <br>where kind people gave me food (hotcakes, honey <br>and bacon,) a bath and a bed in a green room. I slept <br>for days, but when asked where I came from, could <br>only tell of a deer and a bear as my only memory. <br>To be an embryo inside a celestial dream feels fine <br>while I plan the newness of my life.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Oskar+Hansen">Oskar Hansen</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=474109" data-title="The Truant de Oskar Hansen" data-description="The Truant Trying to flee Christmas I opened a wrong door and fell from sky into a glossy stygian lagoon, swam to its northern shore and saw trees dismal graveyard, petrified and silent trunks lit up by hazy moonlight.
