Melbourne Candid Series #1309 Swanston St


 

On a weekday corner where buses sigh,
Five voices rise to interrupt the sky
No sleigh bells here, no tinsel cheer,
Just photocopied harmonies, slightly off-key but sincere.

One hides behind sunglasses and a page,
Another sings like rent is due this age,
A pillar listens, stoic, unimpressed
While traffic hums its basso, doing the rest.

It isn’t winter, no festive decree
Just a choir ambushing passersby casually,
Proving with folders and unapologetic breath:
Joy doesn’t need a season—just a bit of public depth.

  4. Las calles se llenan de musica, el arte se socializa.

  5. Listening to a choir in the middle of the city is always pleasant and breaks the routine and the noise.
