They Laugh At Me



They Laugh Because I Have A White Woman With Me

At the end of the day, Jeams takes me home on the back of his beat-up motorcycle. We ride through the busy, congested streets of Jacmel. As we stop for traffic, other men call to him.  They look at me and laugh at him.  They heckle him unmercifully.

“What are they saying?” I ask. 

“They laugh because I have a white woman with me.  They say I am lucky, I will get lots of money from you”. 

 I laugh too.
