Bones has to be nice to clients,
because they give him money.  

It makes him rather tired,
don’t you know?  

He gets sick to death of it—
the falsehood, the lying.  

Someday he knows he won’t be nice.  
It’s building up inside him.  

It makes him afraid.  
He doesn’t know what will happen then.

Bobby

Whoever is forced to live in squalor is bound to resent it, dear Bobby.

Bones wounds aren't easily healed, society's défaillance runs deep.

Love,

Thanks dear RDB,

Bones sends you hugs right back.  Now he's going to start getting ready to go to Mass.

Thanks dear Margherita,

What you say is very true.  Many times it takes a lifetime to get over societies failures.

Two older guys are out in the playground this Sunday morning teaching a group of Bones look alikes from the hood some tips on basketball.  People do care about the Bones of the world.  But it does take work.

BTW, thanks for the new word.

Love Bobby
