Down Collins Street he strode,
beard bristling in the city’s glow,
both hands laden with goods,
each step a wide unhurried claim
upon the pavement’s grey expanse.
Great earphones crowned his head,
a private orchestra unheard by all,
yet his stride kept perfect time,
a rhythm only he could hear,
a march through Melbourne’s bustle.
Shoppers glanced, the trams rolled on,
but he—self-contained, unfaltering
carried his burdens like trophies,
a solitary figure,
moving to music of his own.

nice
ReplyDeleteI see he is wearing a scarf of his favorite sports team as well as a tee shirt from his favorite band. He is a walking advertisement for what he likes. Another great street shot.
ReplyDeleteHe should seek commission for doing that
DeleteGreat photo but I'm laughing at the outfit he's wearing.
ReplyDeleteA little weird
DeleteIt's easy to see they were walking at a fast pace. And one of them was watching the photographer. Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteI don't hide taking shots at the streets. The best way is to do so in front of them immediately
DeleteAlmost looks like they are dressed for Summer
ReplyDeleteIt was summer
DeleteThe football crowd and a great shot!
