Incident

In this poem I think at te time the author was disilusionted about going to Boston, because it seemed like he was so excited about going to the big city as if he was going to be treated like he was equal. But when he got there a white kid stuck his tounge out at him and called him a nigger. This in a way stuck out in his mind for a long time and is something that he will never foget, because the idea he had about going to the big city was completly wrong.
