No mo’ Cuomo?  (Kind of an apology)

No mo’ Cuomo?  (Kind of an apology)
No mo’ Cuomo?  (Kind of an apology)

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
Apple who lost loved ones
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?
