THE PICTURES HIDDEN
AT THE BOTTOM OF MY DRAWER

Young Hillary Rodham.
Detached. Naked.
Standing up straight, she looks past the camera.

Forced to pose:
We're studying posture!
Scientists and their theories.
Boys and their games.
Go to a good school.
Study and be studied.

The photos of her, George Bush
and their classmates.
A database for reference,
for future hypothesis.

What is the correlation between I.Q. and breast size?
