America, the beautiful?

a valuable remedy worthwhile roams the streets with my ideas in his pockets
burglary, borrowing; an excessive attempt at hijacking thy mind
where all finds itself discrete and confidential
mediums disconnected, messages intervened
absolute uncertainty blankets the night, brings the stars nearer,
nothing like one would ever have feared
a variety of feet, a plethora of fingers possess a myriad of talent
coated with ignorance, arrogance, or other eccentricities
carried by ears, by eyes, by lace on a woman's hip
a valuable remedy worthwhile roams the streets with my ideas in his pockets
burglary, borrowing; an excessive attempt at hijacking thy mind
where all finds itself discrete and confidential
a waning grimace, a defeated grin, figures of shadows from men
shown on the side of the house with thick arms and a rounded gut
a wounded, hairless face, his exterior representing, showing our internal inefficiencies
bound together, wound together, with only some minimal amount of thread or floss, whatever you'd find around the house
the sun rose around the roads, devouring the alleys, illuminating seas and plains and rivers
a valuable remedy worthwhile roams the streets with my ideas in his pockets
when the effects are dismal, and much to my dismay
you'll forget every word, forget what they say
surrender to pattern, cease arms to uniform
as the egocentric hero raises his head from the war
there is no remembering, there isn't much more
