My anti-coronavirus Esu.

ByMoyo Okediji April 3, 2020May 21, 2023

My anti-coronavirus Esu.

I produced this Esu object and hung it in front of my door.

My house is marked safe.

When their Agent of Death is passing by, it sees the Esu object.

Esu, the gatekeeper, informs the Agent of Death that “He doesn’t live here. He lives on the other street.”

I’m off to take a walk.

ByMoyo Okediji April 2, 2020May 21, 2023

I’m off to take a walk.

I need to stretch my legs.

But though the corona seed is in season,

It will not find me.

I will not eat of its evil fruit.

My art class before the Coronavirus.

ByMoyo Okediji April 1, 2020May 21, 2023

My art class before the Coronavirus.

I dreamed about it last night–I was teaching, and there was this really brilliant student who did everything perfectly.

As I went to take a closer look at her work, I woke up.

What really happened was that I had fallen asleep with my music playing. And what really woke me up was Peter Tosh, singing,

My new classroom is inside my laptop.

ByMoyo Okediji March 30, 2020May 21, 2023

Today, I delivered the first two classes via my laptop to my students.

All my students, colleagues, friends and family also live inside my tiny laptop, where we shake hands, hug, and do just about anything we want. I didn’t know there was so much space inside my tiny laptop.

I went on a walk this morning

ByMoyo Okediji March 29, 2020May 21, 2023

I went on a walk this morning, and it felt really good.

As I walked, something occurred to me: The world is an incredible garden in which we were meant to simply hang out, enjoy, party, make love and multiply.

But what do we really do?

We bitch, hate, steal, cheat, lie, cry and even kill.

The Corona prophet, therefore, came to warn us.

In about 9 to 12 months…

ByMoyo Okediji March 28, 2020May 21, 2023

In about 9 to 12 months, the results of the corona siesta will be out: twins, triplets, etc, will be common.

I went to the grocery stores, and the shelves were packed as never before with all sorts of consumables.

There was hardly anybody shopping.

I saw an interracial couple, and they were holding hands!

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

ByMoyo Okediji March 27, 2020May 21, 2023

‘I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now remove your corona masks and kiss.”

It must be so hard to be a dater now, with your libido on fire.

How are these young folks expected to cope now, in the era of corona?

Or are we now all reduced to just online dating, exchanging emojis and gifs?

The COVID-19 goes beyond a biological virus.

ByMoyo Okediji March 23, 2020May 21, 2023

The COVID-19 goes beyond a biological virus.

It is a total systemic collapse.

Everybody thought December 31, 1999, was the date of crisis–when all the computation programs would break down and we would have nothing to hold on to.

Folks were worried, and getting ready for 12-31-1999.

But we did not prepare for 02-20-2020.

Where is your book?

ByMoyo Okediji March 19, 2020May 21, 2023

Where is your book?

In a lock-down world

in which information production

and dissemination has changed.

I use the books to build a wall

to distance me socially because

The library as we knew it

has become a museum.

Hey, world out there

ByMoyo Okediji March 17, 2020May 21, 2023

Hey, world out there

I hunker down here

and hail you, dear friend,

for we now live in the world

of virtual friends

but you can’t hug anymore.

We live in a new world.

Life is in becoming.

Time is resetting

The rhythm of time
