New guy

He sits and nods and only asks.
He doesn’t answer anything.
I ask him why, get no reply,
Except a smile, a nod, a gaze.
I’ve booked him for eleven days
And two have passed on one-way-street.
His questions throw me off my feet.
They have been stuck in drying muck.
My head is splitting into halves
The size of thirds.
