all my friends are exiles.

born in one place, we live in another
and with true sophistication,
rendezvous
in the most surprising places--
where you would never expect to find us.

between us we people of the world.

with aplomb and a command of languages
we stride across continents
with the self-assurance of those who
know
with absolute certainty
where they come from.

with the globe at our command,
we have everywhere to go,
but home.

from testimonies of exile, abena p.a. busia
