“I’m pregnant,” I wrote to her in delight

from London, thirty, married, in print. A fools-

cap sheet scrawled slantwise with one minuscule

sentence came back. “I hope your child is white.”

I couldn’t tear the pieces small enough.

I hoped she’d be black as the ace of spades,

though hybrid beige heredity had made

that as unlikely as the spun-gold stuff

sprouted after her neonatal fur.

I grudgingly acknowledged her “good hair,”

which wasn’t, very, from my point of view. skin analyzer eh 900u

“No tar brush left,” her father’s mother said.

“She’s Jewish and she’s white,” from her-cranked bed

Answer:
Maikang I would guess the speaker is a woman. I guessed this from the line “No tar brush left” her father’s mother said.” Meaning the baby’s father mother or baby’s grandmother. And from the line “mine smugly snapped” meaning her or the baby’s mother’s mother or the baby’s other grand mother. About the line “no tar brush left” her father’s mother said” could be referring to the colour of the baby’s being “spun-gold stuff” or blond and not black like tar brush. or she could have been referring to the colour of the baby’s skin not being black or tarred with a brush. Just a few thoughts on it.skin analyzer
