Emily As She Talks Shit About Cary Grant

Emily says he’s a staircase
she wouldn’t sweat to climb.
I have seen To Catch a Thief
two hundred times
& though I’d live a million lives
to be him in the fireworks scene
with Grace Kelly one time, I have
to admit I wouldn’t mind being
hung off a roof in the middle
of a jewel heist that Cary Grant
was attempting to thwart.
Really, amidst that landscape,
with those rich people milling
about, I’d rather be the housekeeper
that kills Nazis, that makes quiche,
that is loyal to a man I know
will leave me that villa
when he dies beneath the blonde.
