	Kola Rainbow   Spokes of sunrays prickling on the sky floor as a child paddles a patoon down the river of Ethiope.                                                      River frogs reel forest hip-hops gently over the clear silence. Under the mango, leaves weave a dance.   On the hill cresting from Jesse,   green usurps, a painter is sketching a woman tanned-with-despair.   Two women trek along Aja road, with calabash on their heads. They are talking among themselves,   half-laughing, half-listening, talking all the time down the road.
