Sometimes
I talk to
old houses 
and one told me 
that it is angry
about a guy who
slammed the door
one hundred fifty
years ago.

The young man comes from Nice and he tells us that he doesn't need an aircon, that he does like heat and that Nice is much nicer than Paris. A towel for the puddle on the floor is his solution for the problem.  The repair service will come tomorrow. I tell him that I love Paris and Nice and...
