Melbourne Candid Series #1299 Swanston St

 


Beneath the sign of Tropicana’s glow,
where pyramids of oranges patiently grow,
a traveller leans in, bag swinging low
perhaps for a juice, perhaps just to know.

The street hums softly in monochrome light,
heels on the pavement, a city at night.
A woman checks her phone, half-lost in a text,
while citrus and neon debate what comes next.

“Fresh juice!” declares the fruit in a heap,
“Wake up the tired! Revive the half-asleep!”
And somewhere between the window and street,
two strangers pause
for vitamin C and a moment to meet.

  1. The girl seems to hesitate and consults the shopping list, which she has written down on a note on her mobile phone.

  2. Fine looking food bar. There are so many choices, so decisions must be made. Waiting for food is always hard to do. Have a happy Easter, Roentare.

  3. Interesting word for a fruit and vege shop but suitable.

  5. I have heard of spritz or beer at night, but not of orange juice :-)🍸
    Great photo of such unusual shop and I also like the description, which you wrote down.

  6. Tal vez espera a alguien que entró a comprar o tal vez está mirando el móvil en el que lleva una lista confeccionada de lo que habrá que comprar.
    Abrazo

  8. Your pictures are always beautiful and artistic, and even better when you add a poem.
