So I think Richard Wright might be saying that the thing is the world? mainly because at the end he says the world and me. there for they are the only two things in the scene that morning. Considering the fact that this is during the Jim crow era he's probably seeing the world in a negative point of view because of society. The nature and world overall is beautiful, but once you see society of the world it makes it ugly or unrecognizable so its a "thing".
