Bush according to Sharon Stone (as featured in American Vertigo)

CITY OF QUARTZ
She lives in a gilded ghetto, the blighted zones downtown.

OFF TO A GOOD START
She receives me in her home, the Beverly Hills house.

SAHARA
She is wearing a beige skirt and blouse. Sand-colored shawl.

STOP RIGHT THERE
Her hair is short, a little tousled. Bare feet raised.

THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT
She unfolds her legs, refolds them, pulls at the hem.

AND SO IT GOES
Indictment of the American press. Indictment of the conservative wave.

MYSTERY YUKS
She laughs. Why are you laughing? A memory, a hypothesis.

THE INEVITABLE PREFACE
A few years ago, at the height of my stardom.

WHAT ABOUT BROKEN FLOWERS
"Height of my stardom." A scarcely perceptible touch of melancholy.

"SIC"!
I think, this was the case with Ashcraft, as well.
