The first gentle rapping at the narrator's door occurred at the beginning of the poem.ran can you rap? Can you rap? â¦ Can you, Gran? And she opened one eye and said to me, man, I'm the best rapping Gran this world's ever seen I'm a tip-top, slip-slap, rap-rap queen.

Something important to note is the way a voice poem can be nuanced. In the second poem, I pointed out the two differing feelings affecting the narrator. We have some of this in the first poem as well, but it isn't as strong. The female narrator is not exploring her own feelings much, and that, too, is a product of voice. To this narrator, this isn't a scene isn't worth evaluating - she met someone not worth meeting. It won't change her life.
