Picasso's Model

Picasso's Model from my book, The Flyiing Unibrow

Picasso

 saw things through a prism

confounding as astigmatism

producing a major schism

between what's real and painted.

 I saw a model passing through

who looked like Dora Maar–it's true!

 reflected in my mirror view.

Here's what we two had to do:

I screamed,

She wept,
I fainted.
