Like In Versailles

“Poplars lining the road, like in Versailles. Not that I’ve been there. I just imagine that’s how it would be.”

“Are you sure they’re Poplars? Maybe Birch.”

“Birch in Versailles?! I don’t think so.”

“I mean the ones outside. Maybe they’re Birch.”

“I’d prefer Poplars. Like in Versailles. Though I’ve never been there.”

“If you’ve never been there, how do you know anything lines the road?”

‘I imagine there would be something. It’s Versailles, after all. Most likely Poplars.”

“I guess you’re right.”

A silence fell over the room, broken only by the sound of the wind in the Aspen.
