Down Elizabeth Street he strides alone,
a slender thread in the city’s tone,
jacket sharp in the autumn breeze,
moving swift with elegant ease.
Fancy ear pods crown his ears,
drowning out the city's cheers—
lost in rhythm, thought, or beat,
a silent world beneath his feet.
Glass and tramlights dance on skin,
as day and noise blur deep within.
He walks a line both near and far,
tethered to sound like a distant star.
Melbourne hums its morning tune,
but he moves on, immune, immune—
a figure drawn in motion's ink,
on city streets that barely blink.

Un mundo sin sonido real. Solo música. Tal vez no les interesa el mundo real o quieren olvidar esas noticias alarmantes de los telediarios. La luz es una maravilla y el retrato una genialidad.
ReplyDeleteThe surround sounds are actually refreshing
DeleteEarPods are another sign of the times.
ReplyDeleteGreat snapshot
A culture sign
DeleteGreat urban portrait. Music is essential for walking through a big city and prevents traffic noise from becoming too annoying!
ReplyDeleteNoises are a deterrent
Delete...and not on his phone.
ReplyDeleteGood picking
DeleteHe looks worried on perhaps concentrating really hard. Look at his forehead, the lines and veins. Loved the poem. I've never been able to wear buds, have tiny ears like a kids...a young kid; but you sure do see everyone tuned out. I always worried they won't hear a train, or car honking or someone coming up behind them. It seems they're not very aware of their surroundings.
ReplyDeleteI tried wearing pods some time but they really feel like barriers to the outside world
DeleteHe has an air of tragedy or worry about him.
ReplyDeleteAnother movie in the making
