Do not put Picasso in a love poem.
His image might distort perception
His image might distort perception
and lead to periods of blue reflection
instead of pretending everything is rosy.
Do not let Picasso leave your poem
analyzed, broken up, and reassembled,
which could have your readers
scratching their heads, thinking,
“I don’t get it.” Do not put Picasso
in a poem you write about harmony.
He might question your understanding
of well-known truths. Do not put
Picasso in a poem in which you already
think you know the ending.
