Bones never went anywhere
outside the hood.

He spent his whole life
on the hood’s streets.

Surprisingly enough,
even though he lived in Philadelphia,
he never saw the Liberty Bell,
or visited Independence Hall.

Oh—he knew about them,
he just never got the chance to visit.

Bones wasn’t bitter about that,
he wasn’t the bitter type.

find myself sharing a bit with your character...grew up around St. Louis, but never went up in its famous Arch...probably not alone in that though...there is a careful simplicity to your write...enjoyed

Thanks Steavenr,

I'm glad you were able to share something with Bones.

Bones was a simple kid that grew into a simple, and good man.
