Pole. 9/11 Bottleshop carpark, Sandy Bay Road. October 2012. You can keep your blue pole s, north pole , barber's pole , maypole , pole vault , landau pole , dick pole and whatever pole you like; we've got our yellow pole here in Hobart, and we're happy... In Ostrobothnia , by Gosta Agren Here each town is a footnote to the forest's melancholy mass of text, here the horizon bares its teeth. Here freedom shrinks to restlessness. Here necessity grows into tranquillity. One travels always in an attempt to prevent what must happen. One stays here, and as the years go by life grows simplified until there are left only earth and sky.
