Brisk Man From Jaipur

Brisk Man from Jaipur


Two men tall, 
one from here
and one from there,

in raincoats
at a bus stop,
pace and stare.

One of them 
is soaked in tea,
brisk man from Jaipur

who semaphores 
an anthracitic glare.
To barter for a smile

an alien’s obeisance
he, no fawn, 
refuses. 

The other man,
white cane and dog,
doesn’t seem to care.
