Love in America

Love in America hurts.
What it holds it clutches.

 Consequently, we're a nation of friends.
Friends don't last long.

 Our passion is for anything new.

We refuse to stay
in the space where we happened to land.

 As for where we play,
the rules for motels are hands on:

 You accept the rate,
sign a name,
pay with cash,
take the key...

 after play abandon.
