There’s a supermarket
here in the hood.  

It’s just down the street
from where Bones lives.  

He walks down there
to buy some stuff.  

Bones finds police cars
in the parking lot.  

The place has been robbed.  

Inside the market,
everyone’s excited and shocked.  

Bones, being Bones,
wonders how much
the robbers got away with.  

As he leaves the supermarket,
Bones spits at one of the police cars.  

Bones knows
that’s a wrong thing to do,
but he can’t help himself.

Thanks Bill,

Bones is trying to do better in his attitude, but it's hard.

When life hands you a dirty deal then it's hard to control the emotions....Bones is hurt but still human.

Bones is the man.

Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand.

Thanks Eric,

You nailed it--he's still human. He's also, as an intelligent person,  is somewhat embarrassed by his actions.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks Paul,

Don't do this in your hood.  Bones remains ashamed of himself.  It was a stupid thing to do.

shaking his head in disgust (because he still doesn't understand)...he still feels sorry for Bones, but I catch myself making that small, groaning sound anyway...nicely written as it puts me there...

Thanks Steavenr,

For reading and commenting.

Don't feel sorry for Bones, he's a very capable person.
