the portrait painter

do people
sit for portraits anymore.
presidents
and big wheels,
dictators,
and movie stars?
are there people dressed
up and holding
the pose
just so,
being still so that the artist
can capture
the essence of who 
they are,
or who they're
pretending to be?
or is it just the phone now.
click
and before sending,
edit
to clean up the wrinkles
and bags
under the eyes.
maybe do some reverse
aging with AI.
