Bones almost never
traveled out of the hood.  

He spent his whole life
in the hood.  

He knew nothing about the big world
outside the hood he was born into.  

He grew secure
and safe that way.  

He was protected
by his own.  

He never should have
been taken away.

Bobby

the title drew me in.

I'm not sure who bones is, but I'm sorry he had to leave what he knew.

Thanks dear SEA,

For your kind words on the poem.  No, it wasn't a good thing to happen to bones.

Thanks Kaile,

For your very kind concern.  I appreciate it very much.  

"Bones", like all my characters is a composite of many people I have known.  He is however, completely imaginary.  I've killed a lot of people in my writings.

While Bones is imaginary, I can assure you, he is very real.  

Bobby
