Kind of an apology:
To the 15,000 families
it was never personal—
It was always business…
To the 5 Families
Q2 was better than Q1
Q4 better than Q3—though
not reflecting Family Values
To the people of The Big

while lockdown-less:
Petty politics and ego got
in the way and refused to
follow San Francisco and
Seattle and their mayors…
To the touch-ees and grope-ees:
The heavy-handed touches and
and implications of patriarchal
Power were never ever intended
to be as heavy as Harv’s or Cos’s;
If anyone was offended, it wasn’t
Intended…
To the people of the Empire State:
The old act of “Albany Bully—Boss
of All Bosses” must end; and there
must be accountability…
And maybe, Sex In The City would have been better than
Sex in the tabloids; Sex in the courts?
