In Athens, the cigarettes are cheap.
I thought Krakow was the New Berlin.
The boys laugh and they shake their heads and I can smell their wet puppy dog hair.
The sun is setting and the sky is so pink.
Pink like the canopy bed I never got.
Like the cheeks of a girl who the boys have just called a dog.
I stand at the edge of the rooftop holding my phone just above the plants.
trying to take a photo, trying not to drop it.
The boys tell me that if I want to post something on Instagram, they'll text me a Greek sunset.
They want me to show her a Greek sunset.
In Greece, the sky gets even pinker, like way pinker.
The Greeks have four words for sunset, one for each of the boys.
Tomorrow, they leave to work on their barbed wire sculptures at some studio space in Normandy, but tonight, we're in Paris, but all they want to talk about is Greece.
They wish they could have stayed, stayed away from Paris, from Normandy, from Bennington and Bard, from the rooftop, from all this.
