Angle of Yaw - Ben Lerner

HE HAD ENOUGH RESPECT FOR PAINTING to quit. Enough respect for quitting to paint.
Enough respect for the figure to abstract. For abstraction to hint at the breast. For the breast to
ask the model to leave. But I live here, says the model. And I respect that, says the painter. But
I have enough respect for respect to insist. For insistence to turn the other cheek. For the other
cheek to turn the other cheek. Hence I appear to be shaking my head No.
