ordinary people are peculiar too:
watch the vagrant in their eyes
who sneaks away while they are talking with you
into some black wood behind the skull
following un-, or other, realities
fishing for shadows in a pool

but sometimes the vagrant comes the other way
out of their eyes and into yours
having mistaken you perhaps for yesterday
or for tomorrow night, a wood in which
he may pick up among the pine-needles and burrs
the lost purse, the dropped stitch

vagrancy however is forbidden; ordinary men
soon come back to normal, look you straight
in the eyes as if to say ‘it will not happen again’
put up a barrage of common sense to baulk
intimacy but by mistake interpolate
swear-words like roses in their talk
