George Walker Bush, Nude Self-Portait, Oil, 2010

From a fixed point within, after the instant
has passed. Not the truth but the kindness
of truth added to patience like formula
cuts heart-stopping Bolivian. Stripped,
washing. Humble but not to the point
of evaporation. Not thinking at all
about his cock except to judge it
as some of a man. As God,
he hopes, sees him.
