I Stand Here Ironing – Tillie Olsen
‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’ – John Keats, ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’
They will welcome refugees
And ask, Who is my neighbour?
Beauty is truth, truth beauty
I stand here admiring
The greatest affront to them
a handsome Arab father
laughing cooking food to share
abundantly a citizen
