the crystal wall
makes a night at the movies
seem special
walking in our dress down clothes
through the tourist streets
glowing faces
in candlelight
beautiful paving
wrought iron fencing
ferries ploughing the harbour
music playing somewhere
taxis banked up on ranks
and we walk home
past people in
6 inch stilettos
talking into
invisible mobiles
avoid the roadworks
on George Street
make it to Town Hall
proceed past the crowds
on bus stops
cut through Chinatown
pass by a few beggars
cross the old goods rail
now transformed into
pedestrian walkway to Central
it sounds like an American novel
makes you want to read one
just down the hill to home
magnificent
