Maybe, Jack, I'm doing this because I'm English?
Thank you, Jack
One of the birds shoots out of the tree.
"No, it'll get cold!"
"Put a tut ahh put a-"
"Put a blanket."
She closes the window. I wasn't paying attention anyway, I'm getting cold, and the birds are nowhere to be seen. I go inside.
There is a pause. She ashes her cigarette. It falls on me. It seems like the birds have stopped too.
I wonder if she knew I was down there listening? I wonder if she would've said something more true, more personal, more raw, more heartfelt, more harsh, more seductive, more freeing, more exposing, more risky, more romantic, more rude, more honest, more anything, if there hadn't been an audience.
I'm trying to picture the scene inside, like I was trying to picture the scene in the tree.
Above and behind a window opens and a cigarette hangs out.
a heavy, heavy rain. a clear day.
I created this site

so the method has to be autonomous
autonomy of learning
I wonder if the birds knew I was watching?
