NATIONAL YORUBA CONVENTION...
It is a room full of crowded diaspora
with the American anthem playing,
silence
like no one knows the words
It is the Yoruba anthem I first heard when I was EIGHT
still making me cry
It is his daughter
a man who is 60
his daughter,
13 stubborn and unfriendly
adjusting his shirt
without saying a word
like she is his father
