Mourner
That’s him.
Sitting near the back,
Mingling now.
Working the room.
Paying his respects,
Probing for defects
In everybody’s armour.
A proper little charmer.

Nice understatement, Stephen. It leaves each of us the licence to picture what it is about.
Working the room with a will
Not wishing a living soul ill...? ?
Agree with Philipos. Leaving some interesting conjecture in its wake.

Interesting one Stephen - leaving the reader to wonder what else.

Very helpful to see all your reactions in the comments. It gives me a new, and very interesting, view of the poem.
Thanks to everyone, and for the likes as well.
