Race Once riding in old Baltimore Heart-filled, head-filled with glee, I saw a Baltimorean Kept looking straight at me. Now I was eight and very small, And he was no whit bigger, And so I smiled, but he poked out His tongue, and called me, ‘Nigger.’ I saw the whole of Baltimore From May until December; Of all the things that hapened there That's all that I remember. “Incident” by Countee Cullen © 2017 Kwiple.com
