Felix is very much annoyed
with himself.  

He’s having a great deal of difficulty
dealing with the fact
that he had James
practically in the palm of his hand,
and that he didn’t
mess him up real good.  

He’s kicking himself
for being too soft hearted.  

He must do better.  
He has to have a plan.

Felix knows it must involve money.  
That’s one of the rules
Felix has developed over the years.  

“Never do anything
unless there’s money in it.”  

His childhood days of working
and not getting anything for it
at James’s place
have rubbed that permanently
into his psyche.

Bobby

Seems like Felix has learned many lessons in his lifetime and all the hard way. I have to feel sorry for young men like Felix who live a hard, cold life and grow up to be hard, cold men. I wish that more people like the nuns at the convent would have stepped in to be an example to him rather than people like James.

Yo Hoot_owl_rn,

How’s about we cut Felix a little slack here.  He hasn't done anything to James yet.  Felix might be hard, but he's not cold.  Just ask Sally.

Instead of hard, let's call it elastic, not plastic.  Felix is young yet, you know.

Sainthood is in his future.

Lee J,

Thanks for the kind words.
I'm pleased you enjoyed the poem.  Pennsylvania is a very poetric state.

Felix should feel good about being the better man and not doing anything

but I know how anger can eat a person up...

Passing shadows,

Not to worry.  Something is about to happen that is going to change Felix's life for the better, much better.

Stay tuned.

sorry...that I am not always able to read these 'powerful'
writes when first posted and/or in the proper sequence; etc.

yes... money...simply the "root of all?!"...
or is it only the 'square root' of many things
far more 'important'?!...

what shall Felix discover...what lessons shall be learned?!.....

continuing applause!!

Felix is quite a character!  ~ An evolving product of his environment.

May the saga continue!

well I hope things will get better for them both

anger has me on the edge of really being a bad person myself...bad evil thoughts...and totally not like me at all

so I can relate to Felix

maybe we'll both get our break-throughs soon

Read "Angelo", something good has already happened for Sally and Felix.
