Melbourne Candid Series #1260 Swanston St

 


Swanston Street catwalk, 11 a.m. sharp
Shopping bags swinging like modern-day harps.
“OPEN” signs blinking, phones yelling for sales,
While trams grumble past with existential tales.

Two legends stride like they own the CBD,
Dodging lost tourists and a rogue e-scoot spree.
Coffee in one hand, receipts in the other
Retail therapy sponsored by Afterpay’s mother.

Melbourne hums on in its grayscale parade
Where style is effortless… and rent is unpaid.

    This young couple looks stylish for their age. She could be a fashion model.

    Looks like he's quite happy chatting away and she's not really listening, maybe his conversation is a bit boring.
