Bones is a quick study,
he learns things fast.  

That’s a good quality
out on the street.  

On the street,
you sometimes don’t
get a second chance
to pick knowledge up.  

For some things,
you only get one shot,
and you never get
a chance to think about it.  

The street is
an absolute school.  

You either learn it
or you don’t.  

If you don’t learn it
the first time,
you end up
like Bones little cousin
Bruce.  

Bruce was a sweet kid.  
Bruce is gone now.  
He just disappeared.  

No one knows where he went,
or what happened to him.  

For the first few weeks,
Bones thought about Bruce a lot.  

No one knows anything
about Bruce,
Bruce is forgotten.  

No one saw anything,
no they really didn’t.  

That’s the God's honest truth.  

Bobby

Yep, ya gotta be street savy.
No question, you learn fast or you lose.

Too bad about Bruce. Ya just never know what lies on the road ahead.

Thanks Eric,

Yes, you are correct, you have to learn fast.  It is a shame about poor Bruce.  No one knows.

Thanks dear RDB,

It is sad about Bruce, very sad.  It is good Bones knows what's what out there.

Love Bobby
