Not a person but a place. You encompass more than just yourself. A constant war.

dead, wounded, and lost but still fighting back. survivor mentality or just taken too much.

Its over

You're at home but a stanger home is supposed to be a place of refuge where one is loved, known, and cared for.

a home where you are a stanger means you dont belong or fit or unknown.

Enemies as family.

Women supposed to be light and airy only a trace of them Thin.

She seems to hold herself higher than others.

She's opposed to what society views as lower class behavior. The wing flap, scritch scratch, cigar smoking.

She doesn't want to waste time on the mundane, yet all her thinking here is a mundane conversation. (In her own mind)

Long stretched out words gives the reader a sense of a long branch.

How can someone know when and how much or what someone is thinking about? It's impossible.

She views him viewing her in a negative light.

Is he thinking or is it her thinking for him?

She thinks about what he will say before he even says it.

LBJ something boring, or easily found, comforting, something youd say to someone thinking thats what they would want to hear. What theyd want you to be.

Seems as though she is craving to be free and out of her relationship w/ boy who tries to finish her sentences. She is much to iridescent to be restrained.

Again is she revealing her real life here? I think so. are sexual relations to her or done to her in such a manner; "just enough for a quick hop to the next."

also to point to the irony that shes not one to flit branch to branch.

sj he sees her self as higher than those who do, but engage in the same activities.

"creamy streak down my throat" Total sex appeal and even the word down my throat leads to her pecs. The same as a womans neck to her breasts.

She becomes more realistic here after describing the bird as herself in only a positive light.

"pecs good not great but good pecs."

she almost reveals what she looks like in person here all while maintaing conversational flow and almost going over it lightly. shes accepted it.

legs that stand out again traditionally something women wish to be seen as or have.

The pace you get while reading these lines truly feels conversational. The periods. Where and how the lines end. It almost forces you to read it how shes thinking it.

The spacing between words here is being "cut off" like how the author gets cut off by him trying to end her sentences.

Or as if in that very moment he was doing it again.

again her use of pace, soacing and parenthesis makes the reader read how she is actually thinking it. the parenthesis highlight a private thought in her head. Its closed off. Her long pause or break after "but really" gives you her emotion same thing with her pause after "im more" she pauses agian this time in embarassment or bracing herself for telling something she thinks youll preceive as funny.

The longest pause comes after L B J even then shes slowing down the letters as if shes spelling it out in conversation. she doesnt use L.BJ. OR LBJ its L B J but back to the long pause after "l b j " its the longest as if shes waiting for the reader to figure it out on their own, put it together. and when you dont she says it quickly.

Not a single period. long winded as if she' s finally comfortable describing herself a mix of self confidence and defensive-ness. Shes in full conversation now.

The spaces/large gaps between "Flit From Branch to Brach" you can almost imagine her using her hands gesturing flittering from branch to branch.

along with the slight sing song of alliteration gives you a birdsong effect.

the looks she wants are very much female oriented /long/ olive green feathers. /iridescent/

He says make me because he wants "looks" to get a rise out of someone, she says shell do the same.

but she wants her own type of looks.

Protective. She includes a protective adaptation. A concern women must have in particular. Especially when they look long and iridescent
