This poem was one of the most random things I’ve ever read; that was entirely the point. The theme of the essay is not just about pigeons or girls. It is about describing what is seen in a curious way – to ask questions about the world.
I would expect this poem to be written in the Realism literary time period because it is just describing what is going on around the poet. It is interesting that he noticed the pigeons sitting on a twig. Pigeons don’t seem as though they stand out in a crowd to make you wonder about them. The girls are a little more understandable: questions about why one girl is helping the other, why one girl is limping, where are they going, and so on could be asked about the girls. Pigeons are just pigeons. They don’t seem that interesting. It’s all a personal perspective.
