Melbourne Candid Series #1086 Swanston St

 


Thick jumper wraps a weary frame,
A middle-aged man, no rush, no aim.
Down Swanston Street he drifts alone,
Among the crowds, yet still unknown.

The city hums, the footsteps blend,
Each step a story, no clear end.
In worn threads wrapped against the chill,
He moves through life, steadfast and still.

  1. Está claro que esa calle es una de las más transitadas de la ciudad y en la que se dan muchas y variadas actitudes en sus transeúntes.
