Bones is into a way bad trick. There’s nothing he can do about it. He doesn’t want to, but he screams out loud. The pain hurts him so bad, it’s unbearable, and there’s nothing he can do about it. His screams fade into almost silent sobs, and gasps for air. He’s helpless. He must just lay there and bear the pain. He wishes that he could pass out, but he can’t. All he can do is sob, and moan quietly. The night may never end. Bobby |

Yo Bones, You're a better person for it all. And all nights have an end. Bobby |

This would be a good companion piece to the Bones entry about the large expensive cars that he feared. |

hello Bobby, this is an intriguing poem with painful words that shows Bone's courage, the despair is so present in the poem that I almost doubt that Bone could survive, but he did and became stronger...Thanks for the luminous poem. regards yann |

Thanks Yann, Bones just keeps going on, principally because he has to in order to survive. Thanks for your kind words on Bones. Bobby |

Bobby, I have just about come to the conclusion that Bones is some kind of a Nut. Now, if this was a trick, as you say it was, who were you trying to trick? AND, did it do any good. second, What was causing the pain? and why wasent something done about it? But, I will agree, our trials make us stronger. Good old Bones. Still love ya, any way Billie C. |

Thanks dear Billie C., Bones is a little boy prostitute. A "trick" is street slang that describes a prostitutes experience with a client. Some tricks can be very unpleasant. Thanks for your understanding of Bones. Love Bobby |

I had not seen any new `Bones` entries recently so I did a little bit of searching on the net. There is a web site that features Robert Jordan`s poetry. It is called Unlikely Stories: Robet E. Jordan. If you wish he also has three books in print. They are City Boy Stays Alive, Muck and Felix. All of them are available through Amazon.com I mention this because I think that he is a terrific writer that really is an asset to this site. ---- When is Bones coming back? |

This one hurts to read... but then, life isn't alwasy cotton candy and sweet dreams. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Thank you for this. There is nothing that should be taken away, and everything that needs to be there seems to be there. I'd be afraid any tinkering would mess it up. Most of your stuff is like that. |
