Do you know what the meaning of incident ?

This poem describes an encounter between a black child and a white child. The black child gives a friendly smile, but the white child responds with a rude gesture and a racist remark. The incident in the poem does begin as an incident, then goes on to consume all the time of the young man--his whole period between May and Dec. The fact that an event so seemingly minor becomes huge is what makes the title of the poem ironic

- Action

- Small event

- Moment

( Once riding in old Baltimore,

Heart-filled, head-filled with glee)

-The tone of this poem is optimistic in the beginning and the speaker feel happy.

But then the tone turns depressing and sad, when he said:

(And so I smiled, but he poked out

His tongue, and called me, "Nigger")
