The poem delivers the information shared in a telephonic conversation.
It was a black man who rang a landlady to confirm housing.
He enquired about the location and pricing over the phone.
At a point, the speaker wishes to inform that he is black.
As soon as hearing this, the conversation became ridiculous as the landlady enquires how dark is his skin colour.
The man replied with sarcasm and humor to her questions which sounds insulting.
The poem is all about the racism and the communication barriers between the different races.
