I Walked the Boulevard
I Walked the Boulevard - meaning Summary
Urban Sighting of Distorted Family
A short street vignette that contrasts a child’s spontaneous joy with the grotesque, coarse behavior of the adults around her. The speaker observes a skating child and the pursuing, bulky mother and a jocular father in a single compressed scene. The poem juxtaposes innocence and playfulness with physical exaggeration and moral awkwardness, producing an uneasy, oddly comic account of urban family dynamics and social observation.
