APOLLO'S BUTT, Part 1

Status Symbol

At the Vatican Collections Exhibit

At the far end of the first hall
Apollo! As hundreds passed
Solemnly shy in front I
Boldly detoured to view the Sun-
God’s posterior and found the cutest
Sculpted buns extant, alone
For a moment in my own Garden
Belvedere, the equal of popes.
