After a few years confinement
at the detention center,
Bones is given a few bucks for car fare,
and released back to the streets.

The child is glad to be out
of that filthy, roach infested
hell hole, where the management
has strange ideas about
how Bones should be treated.

I’m hanging with the rest
of the aged corner boys
on our corner.

We notice Bones is back,
and hanging with his pals
down on their corner.

Every one’s
glad to have Bones
back in the hood.

He’s down there telling the gang
how rotten life was
at the detention center,
and how badly he was treated.

Bones makes up some of the stories.
It’s always good to employ
some imagination in such situations.

Bobby

Yo Bones,

That’s all right Bones. Us old corner boys, hanging around our corner, are glad to see you loose again, and free here in the hood.

We’re glad to see you back.

We’ll take care of you, keep you safe, and out of trouble the best we can.

Happy--almost Saint Patrick's Day--we're not Irish either, here in this Polish and Italian hood.

Bobby

And sometimes imagination allows one to push the reality aside for a moment. Bones does what he has to do. *S*

Thanks dear Suthern,

What you say is very true.

It's an old tradition here in the hood to tell tall tales to each other. The more outlandish the better. We do enjoy lying to each other.

Love Bobby
