As if to say: that's unusual
They stare for quite a long time
Before returning to the chewing of the cud
Before returning to the grazing of the grass
For now I am normal
A firm part of the establishment
It is I who now look out
For the irregular, for the newcomers
I move up the road a piece
Find a new place to park my car
Between the old gate posts
There is a broken gate
Untidily repaired; supported
By a sheet of corrugated tin
And a strip of reinforcement mesh
As used to give ready mixed concrete
Strength and guidance
