Shopping Therapy
A bald man in a black shirt sits by a café doorway, scrolling, his iced coffee untouched. Next door, a young man leans against a graffiti-covered shutter, so lost in his phone he doesn’t notice the scarves for sale beside him. A young woman in sunglasses walks past a mural of a little yellow house, also reading her screen. The walls around them are loud with slogans and football tags. At the end of the street, a bald man sits on a planter, the only person with nothing in his hands.
