waiting for picasso

there we were
waiting in the wet
for a glimpse
of artistic genius
available free
on a sunday afternoon
after three
so we and
every other tourist
in barcelona
were motionless
in a crocodile like queue
which wound it's way
back beyond sight
perhaps i am lacking
divine insight
but i would rather die
dry and unenlightened
than spend so many
of my remaining hours
in a line of dancing umbrellas
waiting for picasso
