Paradox

Sitting up late in a rural cafe
Shay, buna and macchiato
Elias brings out his Connect Four
And engages a hovering group of Ethiopian men
He coaches them using his Amharic
They marvel just as much at the game as they do to an
almost 8 year old blond haired white boy with glasses
All the while the Ethiopian version of "American Idol" is showing in
The background
