Melbourne Candid Series #1340 Bourke St Mall

 

Only in the city, the billboard insists
and right on cue, tradition persists:
a Highland tune in a Melbourne street,
where sneakers pass tartan and marching feet.

He stands like a memory slightly misplaced,
feathers and fur in a glass-fronted haste;
the crowd flows by in a modern blur,
but time slows down in the pipes’ soft whirr.

Concrete and culture in quiet collision
heritage busks without supervision;
and somewhere between the old and the new,
the city shrugs: why not? …and walks through.
