I was never, straight or gay, sexually assaulted or abused.
Propositioned - of course.
Emotionally - I believe so.

Me Too
It’s not up to us to decide what is and what isn’t Abuse - Injustice.
It’s up to You
African village - Albany - white-supremacies - patriarchies - castes:
Things Fall Apart.
Courts and committees and councils might have at it.
It’s up to Me to Admit and Apologise.
At 17 I attempted what I now understand to be unwanted sexual intercourse.
Luckily! my girlfriend was strong enough of self to stop us.
At 40 I felt guilty for my attraction to a student.
I apologised for any discomfort my sex driven attentions may have caused her.
I did not propose or intend sex. Her reactions are hers and I am guilty.
At 60 I wrongfully used words to suggest sex right there, in the gallery.
It does not matter it was meant as a tribute to her attractiveness. I apologized.
At 69 I wrongfully touched a woman for one second - one thousand one.
Alcohol & Opening puff - Disgusting. I apologized to her.
I have always felt Sex.
How did I get to Out-There?!
It Is Me.
Ironically, and throughout, sexual performing has always been problematic.
In love or casual - it could be impotence - premi - good.
I never knew what was coming - I was never a cocksman - always anxious.
So what?! Bill.

Go away again
The sounds are
The wave lengths there
Pebbles not all smooth and welcoming
Making due since '38 Rincon Carp
Leave word - not all in the sand-dad
Not citharichthys sordidus
You know stuff

Moses Dulberg Dane says,
In just two short months I'll be leaving the Pacific Northwest for St Michaels, MD where I've accepted a job at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum as a shipwright apprentice working on a full stem to stern 2-year restoration of the 1912 carvel plank on frame round bottom tugboat Delaware. I am humbled and feel so fortunate to be given the opportunity to be part of such an awesome project. Check out the museum's sweet floating fleet at cbmm.org. I can say confidently that I will be back at some point, Olympia, but an era of my life (if you will) is truly ending. I have grown as a person immensely while living in this town for one year short of a decade. All the amazing friends I've made that have moved on to follow their paths elsewhere and the ones who's paths still circle this place, I am grateful for the experiences we've shared. Fare thee well! And look out St Michaels, I'll be coming in hot!

Never to forget  from our Rincon Pt  Carpinteria 1940s child play:
Written by one old-time Hobo  at the small 'camp'  up by the tracks under 101
"They would give me no salt for my beans."

Approximately, from a current potboiler:
He-
You have to fight to create and preserve your identity and dignity.
I am sorry and sad it's my crap you have to struggle against.
I'm happy for you there are others.
