Melbourne Candid Series #1039 Swanston St

 

I can't believe she bought a book—

From Dymocks, of all places! Look—

I thought that shop had long since died,

Its lights gone out, its shelves denied.

Yet there she stood, with quiet pride,

A paperback tucked at her side.

While near her, on Swanston Street,

A gentleman, composed and neat,

Wore a hat—so bold, so fine—

Like jazz notes dancing on a line.

Two scenes at once, a city’s hum,

Where past and present softly drum.
