did you know Picasso

did you know Picasso
on the streets of Paris
with a brush and a blond
was looking for immortality
as i was
floating on the main canal
of Venice
with my umbrella and a beer
looking for Saint Mark's Basilica
and the hidden tomb.
he went directly to his studio apartment
to paint the girl
while she sat in his
favorite chair
with her tongue fully extended.
i went to a famous dealer
looking for a Picasso to purchase
and found the blond wearing a
small black beret,
her nose shaped like a
Spanish penis with a wide smile.
i finished my warm beer
while negotiating for an agreeable price,
but everything proved to be beyond my reach.
