america hurts

 

“As I say, it is perhaps easier to love America passionately,

when you look at it through the wrong end of a

telescope than when you are right there.

When you are actually in America, America hurts.”

but there’s one thing I can’t forget,

no one who’s gone over there’s

come back to talk about it yet…”
