what does it feel like
for those obsessed fans
in fervent devotion and attention
to the subjects of their adoration
can't be easy, me thinks
especially when caught
between their fixation
and what it says about them

even more puzzling is the fact
not for them buying and playing idols music
or just simmering lustfully over photo shopped posters
or even hanging round venues
in hope of a sight or a touch
No these obsessed fans I know
live in a mind or not of their own

day and night their minds occupied
looking, talking, imagining, projecting
fantasizing, objectifying and pontificating
totally consumed to the point of crassness
and we ain't talking children here

what's so laughable though
they spend valuable time and efforts
writing litanies and absurd proses
hourly, daily,' morningly' and deep duskily
wow, not even Jagger or Paul McCartney
gets such attention
some call them stalkers or raving loonies
I say same difference
