In Degraves Street’s narrow hum,
where coffee steam and footsteps drum,
a couple waits before the door
of Jungle Juice — their quiet shore.
They sit, the morning half-awake,
as trams above the city shake;
two figures queue in dappled light,
their laughter blending with the bright.
The scent of citrus, mango air,
the hiss of blenders everywhere;
time slows—an amber, sunlit pause,
between the rush and urban cause.
The couple leans, their hands entwined,
as summer drifts through Melbourne’s mind.

Cell phones seem to dominate people's lives everywhere. This man and his son (?) might try talking to each other. No, that's not happening.

Salutacions, James.
So many places to have coffee there, I like to think if a business is busy then they must be good.
