Jazmine Blu


IS PARIS TOO FAR AWAY

 Will I find Hemmingway
along the way
still sitting next to
his fireplace
with his pipe in his mouth
 
Will he give me advice
on the experience
I want to see his pipe bob
even if he dismisses me
Is Paris too far away
 
Will I find Picasso
drinking and yes
if he offered
I would pose for him
no matter how
crazy I might
look when he‘s
done with me
 
I want to be closer
to the Seine
and to the scene
where Stein also mingled
would she offer me a drink too
Is Paris too far away
 
In the taverns
we will drink vin
with the best lips
and feather tips
of this time
 
I would love being their
friends or their rivals
it wouldn’t matter
Is Paris too far away
