A young chap strides with a rhythm bold,
Curly hair wild, like stories untold.
Down Swanston Street where the city hums,
He walks to the beat of invisible drums.
Large earphones wrap his head in sound,
A private concert as feet meet ground.
Dock pants swish with a casual flair,
Swagger of youth, breeze in the air.
The trams roll by, the pigeons flee,
But he's lost in a world only he can see.
Basslines bounce through his steady pace,
A grin half-formed on his traveler's face.
Melbourne moves with its usual din,
But he’s wrapped in music, deep within.
Not chasing time, just catching a vibe,
A living pulse in the city's tribe.

ReplyDeletePrecious ears
DeleteHe does not look like he approves of what he is hearing or seeing, and oblivious to the scene around him including the cute girl right behind him. Your photo caught one way to disconnect from crowded urban life.
ReplyDeleteRetreating into your own world
DeleteNice
ReplyDeleteThat's really a great street view of Melbourne's daily life, due to the fact that the whole frame shows people coming and going.
ReplyDeleteA casual life
DeleteI know those are headphones, but they look like earmuffs!
ReplyDeleteQuite a scene
DeleteMagnificent image, with the boy concentrating on the music and the girl in her thoughts!
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating
DeleteA typical young man these days...
ReplyDeleteI have no clues
DeleteSe aisla con su música de todo lo que sucede a su alrededor. No sabemos a donde viajarán sus pensamientos mientras escucha la música de su predilección.
ReplyDeleteZone out
DeleteWonder what he's listening to. Not often I see young ones with headphones on like that, most of them use ear buds.
ReplyDeleteEarphones provide better sound quality and bass
DeleteI recently saw clippets from an event in 1993 in which I appear. I have been impressed with my youthful swagger! Thanks for sharing. Your usual excellent post!
ReplyDeleteUna vía bien concurrida de personas y autos por la que cada cual atiende en su mente sus temas del día a día
ReplyDeleteLa chica parece pendiente de tu cámara
ReplyDeleteThe girl is more attentive.
ReplyDeleteHe is thinking hard about something!
ReplyDeleteIn a world of his own!
ReplyDeleteThe young man is oblivious to the people around him. Your poem describes what is going on very well. All those people are thinking about something, but he listens only to the music.
