You should move here
to America.
You should try your luck
on the Great White Way
and see Jaws
and eat hot dogs
and enjoy all the things
this fat country
has to offer.

You could stay with me.
I’ve got a couch
or, if that’s not comfortable enough,
you can share the bed.
It’s big enough for two
if you don’t mind sharing.
That’s one of the beauties of the ol’ US:
we got big here
or we go home.

I don’t want you to go home.
I want you to be away from your comfort zones
in locales where you need a guide
who will take you by the hand
and lead you to all the best places.

I think you might like it here
if you have it a chance.
Leave everything you have
everything you know
and stay with me for
a little while.

I’d do the same for you
if you lived here, too.
