I'm looking for a needle in a haystack of a poem. [View all]

Many, many years ago I came across a short poem about ordinary people. I do not know the author, but it describes a brief encounter with this "ordinary" person. It involved a casual interaction, and then the ordinary person was back to withdrawing in his world.

It may be written by a Brit.

I know, it's not much to go by. Like I said, a needle in a haystack.
