Greetings:
Here is the final part of my poem; my own favoritesection is the footnote!
Song of Tehran, Rejoicing
This song will end, with rejoicing,
as desires, not covered and poverty, embattled while unfelt.
Education sought. Enlightenment explored.
Joyful gatherings exchanged. And the food, glorious food.*1
Sing the phases of the day. And amongs it all I [re]trod Tehran's present cross-roads to Mehrabad International.
Overwhelmed with foot, relatives, geography, history, current events, joy, And finally you, Husband to whom I dedicate this song, Saeid, rejoicing.
*1. Break of day/6:30AM: Melita-brewed coffee, filter & coffee traveled from the States.
Breakfast/ 8AM: Sugared tea, feta cheese, barbari, nutella.
Lunch/2PM: Horesht Badamjun, rice with tadik, vegetable, Coca Cola, water, doorgh, sugared tea.
Dinner/10PM: Gormeh Sabsi, rice with takik, vegetable, Coca Cola, water, doorgh, sugared tea.
Guests' Meal/Anytime between 3-11PM: banana, apple, cucumber, kiwi, pastry, candies, sugared tea.

What a beautiful poem! It like a abstracted logbook. What the delicious foods! Some years ago, I designed an english menu for iranian foods of a resturent. I send it for you, It will be funny. It includes some description for every type of food. Although you familar with persian food, it make you laugh, which shows the cultural diversity in such a distinct translation.
Good luck
