Xylophones, no xenophobes

Up high in the blue night sky 
dangling free, hanging in the sparkling stars 
yellow light bulbs glowing like 
neon popcorn, that say

REFUGEES WELCOME!

(then, in other bulbs, the details … )

All borders made of cheesecake, strawberries, and
Louis Armstrong records. Fuzzy red Pendleton blankets. 
Furry pets (any colors), dogs and cats. Flashlights, flash 
clothes, but no flashbacks. Laughter, love, lava lamps, 
chocolate chip cookies, pool tables. 
Bottles of silver champagne and pink Perrier. 
Banjos, saxophones, party hats and 
drums. 

Xylophones, not a xenophobe in sight.
