  31. “Picasso” • Attempts to parallel the theories of cubism by creating disinterested prose • Fragments appear to be identical, but on close inspection each overlaps or invades the next, conveying both mental continuity and diversity thus capturing the processes of thought: permeability and mutation • Uses slightly “varied” repetitions as though it is music • Experiments with syntax—word order—similar to how the cubists changed the order of what we see • Is not interested in the meaning of words • Focuses on the sounds of words, their “plastic” values
