What do you think this poem is about?

'Ancient Visions'

An elderly gentleman
Standing in the middle of the junction
Completely oblivious to the traffic
Trying to edge around him.
 
I took him by the elbow
And led him to the safety of the kerb.
 
'D'you know? ' he asked wistfully
Gazing at the mist haloed street lights,
'It was just such an evening as this
I last saw Nonie Collins! '
