Upon Collins, where footsteps glide,
The city hums in bustling stride.
Yet eyes fall not on sights anew,
But screens that glow in glassy hue.
In hand it rests, both bright and keen,
A modern charm—this silent screen.
No glance to skies, no words take flight,
Just scrolling hands in neon light.

ReplyDeleteThat's really a great photo!
Scanning the environment
DeleteRaro es ver la persona que no te cruces en la calle, que no esté mirando la pantalla de su móvil.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
He is checking for traffic
DeleteEn las manos un celular y la mirada en otro recorrido. Siempre lo mismo, queriendo estar en dos sitios.
ReplyDeleteEl monocromo es genial.
It’s fascinating how poetry and photography can intersect, isn’t it? They both help us see the world differently, sometimes reminding us to take a moment away from the screen and simply see what's around us.
ReplyDeleteExpresión perpleja. Parece no cuadrar el mundo exterior con su pantalla
ReplyDeleteGreat poem and photo. It is sad to see so many people engrossed in a screen when there is so.much more going on around them.
ReplyDeleteWithout a phone, the street would be boring.
ReplyDeleteOh he looks slightly pissed off, I wonder why? Great shot though :-D
ReplyDeleteAt least this one is looking where he's going.
ReplyDeleteLove your B&W shots!

At least he's looking where he's going - I get fed up with having to dodge phone addicts!
