​I watched a stream
Of Drum
A play from Omnibus
A black box theatre
In Clapham, London
In 2022
From my house
In Carteret, New Jersey
In 2023
Because we live in the future
And we can do that now

And it was a one camera shoot
Of a two person play
About the meeting of
A DJ and a photographer
In 1960s London
Two Ghanaian immigrants
Grappling with identity
A few years after Ghanaian independence from
British rule
Who they are
Where they are
Why they are

A line that stuck with me
“Tradition is the passing on of fire
Not worshipping the ashes”
Jacob Roberts Mensah
Who we are
Where we are
Why we are.
