Obsession

I’m so obsessed with you
Like the Hindus are with their goddesses
Like the Muslims are with the moon;
But your religion makes me nauseating.

I’m obsessed with you
Like the Americans are with the Iraqis, their oil
Like the Pakis are with the Indies;
But your country makes me hallucinating.

I’m obsessed with you
Like the mosquitoes are with the monsoon
Like the lilies are with the spring;
But your season makes me aging.

I’m obsessed with you
Like the atheists are with the nongod things
Like the patriots are with their countries;
But your beliefs make me more unconvincing.

I’m so obsessed with you
I would live and die inside you
But please do tell
You’re not obsessed with nothingness.
