Melbourne Candid Series #1345 Collins St

 


Beneath the pharmacy’s fluorescent grace,
A young man drifts through retail space.
Hair like a prophecy, eyes half asleep,
Scrolling through secrets his phone must keep.

The city rushes with errands and plans,
Coffee in paper cups, shopping bags in hands
Yet he walks slowly, almost theatrical,
Like a guitarist late for something mythical.

Behind him the crowd obeys the day;
He alone seems edited from the play.
A black-and-white saint of the CBD stream,
Carrying cargo pants and a private dream.

  3. Una historia casi, casi personal. El joven parece estar fuera de todo lo que sucede a su alrededor. El blanco y negro es perfecto y los reflejos en los cristales de la tienda son un acierto
    Abrazo

  4. Since he is walking in front of the Chemists Warehouse let's hope the bottle in his left hand is water. He does not look happy. Great reflection in your photo.

  5. Mas que un móvil parece llevar una brújula en la mano para orientarse
