Ethiopia

Mark Berube


I'll put you in my suitcase and I'll take you to Ethiopia

We stood alone in the corner
They put us there for what we'd done
You placed a smile on the teacher
She understood and let you stand

Now you are
My favorite ghost

My mother saw you in the schoolyard
She told me 'bout your polished self
You wore conviction on your collar
You said the best is yet to come
