HOE AVENUE, BRONX, NY (PART VIII): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN NEW JERSEY

(continued)

i was a little kid when i first went to school from hoe ave.  relying on my mom  to take me to and from home on my rainy first day was a disappointment.  she was no sacawagea.  i didn’t know where we lived and i had no idea as to how to get there from school. the last kid standing; hungry and alone in the rain.  very distressing.  mom was late but who holds a grudge?

she finally showed up and saved me.  thanks mom.  i'm sure there were more important things to do than taking care of your little son.  perhaps shopping?
