He Lived His Fictions (for Michael Jackson)

--Obododimma Oha

He lived his fictions, charmed moonwalker
Now frozen in the crescendo of his song

Many selves of lyrics embodied, disembodied, re-embodied
Yield, ecstasies, like this flexible

Was this self yourself?
Was this other in order?
Was this self selfless in melting hearts with ghostliness?

He lived his fictions, died his reality
Somewhere like nowhere on the maps of motion

Archangel to many visions
He stands at the threshold of changing myths

Necklace

And the crawling fear reaches
Beyond the silence of icon,
Breathes down its de/signs
Into a narrative of the faithful native

-- Obododimma Oha

than his dream
smaller

Competing Signs

Signs behind signs between signs beside signs

Space plus minus space

No, those competing meanings value

The difference between rowdy thoughts

And kindling economics
