Mama’s rented a colonial house
a block from the ocean, in a village
where we’re the First Negroes of everything.
We’re the First Negro Family in Town,
the First Negro Children in the Town’s School.
The Baylisses live in the house next door;
their mantel has photos of dead people
in their coffins. Uncle Ed sits all day
in their bay window with binoculars,
then comments on what we had for dinner.
Aunt Flossie asks us over for cookies.
Sometimes Mama lets me and Jennifer cook.
Tonight we made a Caucasian dinner:
cauliflower, broiled cod, mashed potatoes.
