Melbourne Candid Series #1328 Collins St

 


On Collins Street he strides, mid-thought, mid-day,
glasses parked like a question that wandered astray.
Bag in one hand, purpose in doubt,
as the city flows briskly around and about.

A look that says, “Was it left… or right?”
or perhaps just wrestling lunch or life.
Meanwhile the footpath keeps perfect time
Melbourne’s quiet, unbothered rhyme.

  5. This middle-aged man is older than most of the rest of the crowd on Collins Street. Perhaps he is just doing a bit of shopping? Or perhaps he is drawn there by the food offered, as you point out.

  6. He does look a bit lost--- and perhaps a bit afraid.

  9. You always capture the interesting moments! So many scenerios could be playing out in his mind. But I've noticed your commentators have fun guessing.
    Your poem is great too!
