High Wire

Earlier I watched some doves get it on. It went like this: the male dove cozied up to the female dove on the telephone wire. There was some too brief kissing and then he hopped on top of her for about two seconds after which there was awkward silence and distance. Then she tried to get him to kiss her again and he put even more distance between them. They were still sitting on the telephone wire in the awkward after mess when I came inside to make dinner. I hope he calls her.
