​White child meets black man - KCSE English poetry questions and answers
Read the poem below and answer questions that follow.
She caught me outside a London Suburban shop, I, like a giraffe And she a mouse. I tried to go But felt she stood Lovely as light on my back I turned with hello And waited. Her eyes got Wider but not her lips. Hello I smiled again and watched. She stepped around me Slowly, in a kind of dance, Her wide eyes searching Inch by inch up and down: No fur no scales no feathers No shell. Just a live silhouette, Wild and strange And compulsive Till mother came horrified 'Mummy is his tummy black?' Mother grasped her and swung Toward the crowd. She tangled Mother’s legs looking back at me As I watched them birds were singing. James Berry (Jamaica) questions
