Melbourne Candid Series #1293 Swanston St

 


He walks through traffic lights and fate,
A pilgrim to the glowing slate.
The city hums, the people stream
He scrolls inside a smaller dream.

Shoes on pavement, thumb in flight,
Crossing streets by screen-lit light.
The world says “Look!” with horn and shout
He double-taps and tunes it out.

  2. Walkling while looking at a cell phone might not be a good idea.

  6. It bugs me that people talk on their phones on speaker function in public, I'm sure the rest of us don't want to hear the conversation. Have a great week.

  9. It is funny how folks these days cannot even walk down the street without looking at those little screens. That poem really hits the nail on the head regarding how much the world has changed. Everyone is just drifting along in their own little bubble while life passes them by.
