Dramatic irony
No, Lucille Clifton's poem "in the inner city" is not an example of dramatic irony. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters in a literary work do not, leading to a contrast between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. This poem does not exhibit that particular type of irony.
Irony is a noun. Ironic is the adjectival form.
