A man in full gear, steadfast and clean,
Guides his machine through the urban scene.
On Swanston Street, beneath morning’s gleam,
He rides the hum of a hissing stream.
The brushes whirl, the water sprays,
He sweeps the echoes of yesterday’s haze.
With every pass, the grit retreats,
Order returns to the bustling streets.
Helmet low, his eyes ahead,
In dawn’s soft gold and city red,
He makes the concrete gently shine—
A quiet craft, a task divine.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine
DeleteExcellent example of the essential cleaning service in big cities!
ReplyDeleteNeed it to be frequent
DeleteThat man was doing a very useful job: the pedestrian area seems so clean.
ReplyDeleteI like that machine. It could be successfully applied in the old narrow alley of Italy's historic towns.
Not sure if the same is done in Italy
DeleteUn buen retrato de este personaje aunque no parezca sentirse muy a gusto.
ReplyDeleteNot a well paid job I guess
DeleteUn trabajador que cada mañana realiza su trabajo y deja las calles limpias de los restos del día anterior. Buen retrato con un blanco y negro marca de este lugar.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
