Melbourne Candid Series 1300 Swanston St

 

She pauses mid-stride on the neon street,
where doughnuts glow and dumplings meet.
The crowd flows past in urban streams,
but she stands still—inside her schemes.

Afro halo, glasses bright,
a quiet island in city light.
While others hurry, scroll, or queue,
she studies the menu like a philosopher would do.

Is it sushi? Dumplings? Something fried?
The night is young, the options wide.
For wisdom comes, as sages say,
to those who stop…
before choosing takeaway
