Rooftop antenna on an old brick wall
ghost of a signal ghost of it all.

Before the inbox, before the endless scroll
did people have more patience with their soul?
Conversations linger over dinner plates,
did letters mean more, arriving a few days late?

Even though I didn’t live in the rooftop antennas era, I wonder a lot about what life would have been like at that time.

    When I lived in Nigeria we used to have an antenna in our balcony. I was assigned antenna adjustment duties while my parents would tell me if they caught a signal. This was in the early 2000s. They got broadband in Nigeria in the late 2000s.
