There is a probably North African guy sitting down at a table across the front window of Starbuck's. I think he's a taxi driver. Baseball cap, moustache, cigs. I hear him speak his native tongue a few times to different guys who happen by. He speaks in a mixture of Arabic and English. As a friend leaves, the man calls after him and offers him some advice, which I imagine to be some blessing or prayer or 3,000 year old saying. The man does not hear his words the first time and asks him to repeat.
"Pick five. Pick five is very good. Only $1 a day. You can win very big".
