Melbourne Candid Series #1296 Bourke Street Mall

 


Outside the shopfront, tinsel droops in style,
A queue of patience stretching half a mile.
Benches host the weary—bags, kids, and sighs
While bargains glitter somewhere just inside.

A father negotiates with a yawning boy,
Two girls giggle over some small joy.
An elder surveys the bustling scene
Retail theatre, loud but routine.

And off to the side, apart from the fuss,
A woman scrolls through a quieter world than us.
Here commerce hums, festive and dire
The great seasonal sport: surviving Myer

  1. Something interesting is going on in those stores windows, or this crowd is waiting in line to purchase goods at a bargain price. The women on the right is in her own world. Wonderful busy street photo.
