Yonkers Joe Page #9

Synopsis: Yonkers Joe hustles, setting up schemes to cheat at cards and dice. He has a girlfriend, Janice, but does he care about her or just need a partner in his cons? He's working out a scam of casinos, gathering intelligence in Atlantic City. The fly in the ointment is his son, Joe Jr., a mentally-challenged young man about to turn 21, aging out of a group home, belligerent as the move to an adult home and his father's lack of contact upset him. Joe Jr.'s counselor insists that Joe take his son for awhile to calm him down and prepare him for the transfer. Can a mentally-challenged, unloved kid make his way with grifters? Can a father discover new emotions? What about scamming the casinos?

# and hang like the fog

across the bay #

# some of the trust

has since been broken #

# it doesn't have to be

this way #

# where do we find the will #

# to carry on? #

# it's there in the eyes

of beloved ones #

# where do we find

the strength #

# to pick ourselves

up off the ground? #

# it's on the smiles

of the young #

# what of the eyes

that gaze upon me #

# and lower as I go

passing by? #

# what of the trust

that came before this #

# and what about the tear

in their eyes? #

# where do we find the will #

# to carry on? #

# it's there in the eyes

of beloved ones #

# where do we find

the strength #

# to pick ourselves

up off the ground? #

# it's on the smiles

of the young #

# where do we find the will #

# to carry on? #

# it's there in the eyes

of beloved ones #

# where do we find

the strength #

# to pick ourselves

up off the ground? #

# on the smiles

of the young #

# on the smiles

of the young. #
