Refugee Pest

I

don’t mean

to ramble but,

if I were fleeing your

forefathers’ motherland,

if my home were your

home, my children,

your children

would you

open your arms

to me

then?

If I were festooned

in your flag,

cloaked in the colors

of your country –

your company,

your school,

your team,

your cola –

might you, then,

 take me

in?
