A passenger and a station functionary,
close to, nearly argue
as the one asks for direction;
is told; yet asks again;
hears repeated advice
and asks for repetition.
Each raises its voice each time,
exasperated, ruffled,
regretful of such existence;
till both turn in parting,
waving a finger at the head,
counterclockwise, telling
their notional observer
they have been with a nut.
