Melbourne Candid Series #1271 Swanston St

 


Swanston Street hums in grayscale tone,
Trams ding, sneakers tap, the city’s grown.
Backpacks march with commuter pride,
While headphones build a world inside.

He scrolls through life at signal’s edge
Thumb the captain, curb the ledge.
Around him Melbourne rushes past,
But Wi-Fi holds him steady, fast.

  5. What a busy street scene. The fellow looking at his phone may be choosing a new tune to play on his headphones. The fellow behind him is also plugged into a sound system. This is action everywhere I look.

  7. We miss the real world when we're lost in our social media world.

  8. At least you can tell he can't hear anything else... I start talking to other people before I notice they're "plugged in" with the tiny ones.
