Girl Fingers Self With Electric Toothbrush Vid I Need Some Help With Finding An Irony In This Poem, PLEASE!?

I need some help with finding an irony in this poem, PLEASE!? - girl fingers self with electric toothbrush vid

This is the poem:

Baby, baby behind me on the bus

get

and tap the power of my curly hair

Finger dipped in

Magic brown skin of the neck

to see whether it

Her mother

clapped their hands away

Hush-up questions

and wondered aloud,

Why not leave.

I turn and smile for you

But you are lost

in silence and fear that you are logged in Mother Love wrapped

I'm sitting next to you

I snuggled very large hot car

instead, while juggling your mother land.

then you know that it's okay



Author: Maxine Tynes

Thank you very much!

Not quite sure but I think it might be a small child around the neck of a United States person and ask to touch his mother earth "does not disappear, the child is thought to silence by his mother and African-Americans, but perhaps if He sat beside the boy, that explains why his skin was then, and how it is as simple as the next person. And you can ask questions ...

This is what I have of him, hope that helps

See "Types of irony in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony

They will give a boost ... You can also try to rewrite what happened in the poem in plain language. Swing back, if you do not get stuck.

"But you're lost

in the silence and fear that surrounds them in. "Mother Love"

It's ironic, because he expected that the love of a mother's warm and soft, not silence and fear.
