Bones doesn’t much like
the labor camp.  

He doesn’t like being
loaded up in a bus
before sunrise,
and being driven out
to some God forsaken place
in the country,
and put to work.  

He doesn’t like
having to beg for a drink of water
when he needs it,
and being fed food
that’s second rate,
and hardly fit to eat.  

No, he doesn’t like that at all.  

He’s going to get out of there.  

He’s going to run away.  

He’s making plans right now.

Bobby

Good on him.

Punishing a man who's only struggling to survive anyway only teaches him how to turn his back.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

Sigh, Bobby, yes I understand that under such circumstances the number one thought is that of escaping.

Love,

Thanks dear Margherita,

Yes, what you say is true.  Bones has made a friend, they will escape together.

OK Bones!
Make your plans carefully and steal away when they expect it the least.
Waiting to hear from you on the outside again.

Go Bones Go!

Bones is too young to go to a work camp.  Besides those kinds of places should be reserved for delinquents who have no reason to be that way. [suburbia]
