Sun slices Swanston into shade and glare,
Half the crowd in light, half unaware.
One negotiates life through a glowing screen,
One hauls retail trophies, seventeen.
Behind them commerce, ahead unknown
The city scrolls; they carry on.

ReplyDeleteI suppose it's better that he's actually talking to someone, rather than texting-- staring at the screen. Screen zombie apocolypse!
