Rush hour choreography on a narrow stage,
A dance of shopping bags and quiet rage.
One man stalled mid-stride to take a call,
While ten small lives must weave around his wall.
Sunlight slices stripes across the crowd,
Each face a story thinking thoughts out loud.
No one meets another’s hurried eye
We brush like pages as the minutes fly.

ReplyDeleteYour poem truly says it all about this photo. A fantastic shot of life on the streets. Have a good day today.

ReplyDeleteA veces la vida en la ciudades es un continuo esquivo de personas transitando.
ReplyDeleteSemblen ben contentes, malgrat el "mur". ;-)
ReplyDeleteSalutacions!
That choreography is typical of large crowds in cities. In Barcelona, moreover, these crowds have to "dance" even more due to the urban development work on many streets.That choreography is typical of large crowds in cities.

ReplyDeleteQué bueno cómo captas ese vaivén urbano que todos vivimos pero pocas veces miramos de frente. Tu poema convierte la prisa en coreografía y el agobio en una especie de relato compartido, aunque nadie se mire. Me ha gustado especialmente esa idea de rozarnos como páginas: tan cerca y tan lejos a la vez. Gracias por poner palabras a ese pequeño caos cotidiano que solemos atravesar sin detenernos. Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteVery busy :-D
ReplyDeleteMáxima actividad en esa calle. Todo el mundo decidió salir a la misma hora y al mismo lugar.
ReplyDeleteAbrazo
The fellow all in black seems to be blocking the progress of this group of woman shoppers. Perhaps your lens for-shortens the distance, but he appears to be right in front of them blocking the sidewalk. Perhaps a whack with a shopping bag might move him out of the way?
ReplyDeleteWell captured
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blended photograph and poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
