the upside down tuba

as Picasso got older
and more
famous
he stopped carrying money
around.
instead when he went
into a café
and ordered food
and drink
and ate with his friends,
the bill was paid
by him sketching
a picture onto a napkin.
quickly he'd draw an upside
down tuba,
with a woman's breasts
and the head of a goat
coming out the other
side, or a triangular
house
with cat's eyes,
and that was it.
bill was paid
in full, including tip.
