Stranger on a Train

You drink the world
Like old men sip their beers,
Heads bowed in
Surreptitious swigs.
Those deep-set eyes
That widen through the years
Sit proud in
Caves of vigilance,
Shadowed with purpled
Folds of sallow skin;
Bags for life
Filled to the brim.
So did your cool, unsparing glance
See callousness and arrogance?
