Half
Half
I say there is less abstraction
but truly, things are
becoming more ambiguous.
As much as I am in love with the world,
(like a stupid teenager
or a spiritual revolutionary
let me lead you in prayer:
in the name of the father, the son and all
others who concern themselves.
we know nothing. Amen.)
I am ready to destroy it.
I have it. I am Shiva.
As much as I am in love with you,
(I become a stupid teenager
and a spiritual revolutionary)
I am ready to destroy you
for the things your people
have done to mine
(in the name of the father, the son and all
those who concern themselves.
you knew nothing. Amen.)
I have it. I am ashamed.
As much as I am in love with her,
(when I was a stupid teenager, I hid it
and feared a noted spiritual revolutionary)
I want to destroy her
for this desire
for which she is blameless and is likely
forgotten by her father, her son and all
those who concern themselves.
teach her something.
I haven’t. Amen.
