‘ the way you flirt is shameful. ’

All the birds have flown away because they have good instincts, the boy hasn’t because he’s stupid like she and all humans are. It would have made more sense to tie the dog to a bird. She stands upright with both hands on her aching back like an old woman. “Why the face. They’re birds.” Her hands flutter in some animation of wings or maybe a spider. “They do that.”

‘ hey birdy, how come you got to be so damn tall even though both your parents are tiny ? ’ it’s not fair when you think about it, al’s cursed to a life of standing on his toes.
