   scary people / places


I was asked
by a pseudo therapist one time
if I had been sexually abused
because in her eyes
I appeared outrageous
I told her not that I knew of
?
people can be scary
when your shoes are a different color


the time a principal in a prominent school
in the words of the superintendent
used sexual harassment to feel larger or powerful

and maintained his job
when I was asked to falsify records

all sorts of things that don't look good
for level 5 schools in caucasian communities

people deny
and try and tell me many things
