Looking for America

The continent rolls out before you.
Walk its width unimpeded.
No passport needed.

If you want everyone to ignore you,
that can be arranged:
just don't act too strange.

But if you're in need of a chat,
if you want to know
how their lives go,

There are plenty of folks up for that.
They'll talk off your ear
till you no longer hear.

And you'll find the range of views
truly complex
with balances and checks,

Beyond what you see on the news,
as each sifts and sounds
the facts on the ground.
