Suburban Paris

after "The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist" and "Geography of an Adultery" by Agnès Riva

Your house is an absolute stunner

we’ve been admiring on Google Earth.

A shame about the raspberry bush but

the in-ground pool is nice — too bad

somebody sliced the vinyl lining.

.

Don’t worry about the hide-a-key

under the barbecue, we know

yr wrap-around porch sliding glass

door’s always unlocked. Nothing’s

missing, we just wanted to be near

.

all of your things, needed to feel

yr carpet on the soles of our feet,

run our palms along the smooth

kitchen island granite. Littered

Lipton tea bags & an empty glass

.

when you return from vacation.

Shifted couches just an inch odd

in the living room and half-drunk

bottles of Grey Goose vodka.

We left the basement TV on Bravo.
