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 vino
With the best of 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
