Incident by Countee Cullen

The "Incident" is showing how things come at you so fast with out you even noticing what's about to be done or said. When the man called him a "Nigger", he wasnt expecting that to be said. From him being exposed to that at the age eight, that's all he was entitled to remember from that very day. "I saw the whole of Baltimore From May until December; Of all the things that happened there That's all that I remember."
