Wouldn’t you just know it?

Felix gets a phone call
from his old foster parent.

The old coot
needs his grass cut,
and wants to know if
Felix knows anyone
that does that kind of work.

Felix thinks—
well why not?

After all,
hadn’t Felix
and the old coot
kissed, and kind of
made peace.

He asks Angelo
if he would like to earn
a little extra bread,
cutting grass.

Felix talks to Angelo,
tells him the old man’s
harmless enough,
but to stay away from James
if he’s around the place.

He warns Angelo
that James might be
one of those
“funny guys”.

Angelo gets the picture,
and agrees to go.

You must have more faith in mankind than I do, Bobby.

Thanks dear Ida,

I don't know that it's so much about having faith in your fellow man, as it is the self confidence bred here in the hood that you and yours can take care of yourself in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
