Bones body is covered
with cuts and bruises.

It always is.

Bones wonders when that deal
is going to change.

It will when Bones gets big enough,
and mean enough
to do something about it.

Bones is already mean enough,
he just doesn’t know it.

Now he just has to wait,
and get big.

Thanks dear Juju,

That's okay Hon.

Bones is going to grow up and make it better.

Thanks for your kindness in responding to my poems.

Love Bobby

Once more, Bobby, I will allow myself the chutzpah to tell you than I can fully empathize with Bones on this.

Thanks Mark,

I'm very happy that you can empathize with, and hear Bones in this poem.

Oh course, I wish the real Bones had gotten a chance to grow up.

Bobby, I say "empathize" as it would be ridiculous for me to say that I "relate" or even I "understand." I'm sure you know what I mean

Yes, I also wished Bones could grow up, as he would most probably also have grown it, thus trascending the beauty of your verse...

Lastly, if you could do me a favour: I'd love to have your take on my last posted piece, Carnivalesque Arabesque. Below all the artifice, there is an underlying story I think you, for one, can understand. /pip/Forum100/HTML/001170.html

Thanks, Mark.

i'm new here. this is the second time I saw a poem about bones. Who is bones? Maybe if I knew bones, I would care about him. This poem is like a picture of someone else's ugly baby otherwise. You just nod and smile and mumble "cute."

This is me, nodding and smiling.

There'll be hell to pay when Bones gets big enough. He can only take this so long.

Yo Tao power,

Bones is an old dead friend I grew up with.

Keep nodding and smiling.
