ABABA
She and her brother's name did not ring a bell until much later. Nearly one week after cleaning out my bank account to buy a used car, I looked at the signature on the back of the title before sending it through protocol and read "Salassie." The guy selling me the vehicke had gone back to where he was staying to get a signature put to the document for transferral into my name, and this was what he brought me.

It was enough to cause recall of days long gone. The days of my childhood where a black community fantacized of black kings and kingdoms.
