Some stuff to like in America Some stuff to like in America Some stuff to like in America Some stuff to like Some stuff to like in America
A patch of grass off the I-80 entrance ramp An ironic memory offered at a Jersey funeral A patch of grass on the highway’s shoulder A lovely lawyer sings the 21st psalm A hearse that stops beyond a light A gas station, abandoned on the right An honest observation Made in eulogy
Some stuff not to like in America Some stuff not to like in America Some stuff not to like Some stuff not to like in America

Some stuff to like and not to like in America Just so much stuff not to like in America So much stuff so much stuff so much American stuff …
