AN ART HISTORIAN OUT THE BACK OF A SHOPPING CENTRE

Dalí bikes with stamped-on wheels.
Lightweight litter bins that have had
the Picasso kicked out of them until
they resemble heads seen
from many angles at once, just like
those from his Synthetic Cubist period.
This box of rotten fruit could be
an Arcimboldo face if you squint hard enough.

Wow! Really beautiful poem. 'had the Picasso kicked out of them' - love this phrasing ;)
