Melbourne Candid Series #1279 Swanston St

 


Behind the glass, he conquers lunch,
A quiet, single-person brunch.

Outside, the city streaks and blurs—
Inside, it’s noodles, thoughts, and slurs

Of sunlight striping table and knee;
Melbourne rushes—he sips tea.

  2. The young man is oblivious to his surroundings. He's probably very hungry. Pasta is a perfect idea for a delicious and filling dinner.
    Greetings from faraway Poland:)
