Home of the Doves

He is a man without boundaries. You can tell by the doves nesting on his head. These are lily-livered doves; other doves kick sand in these doves’ faces. Perhaps he is less of a man and more of a tree. He has a solid trunk, not blobby as one might expect of a sheepish man. And let’s not forget about his delicious avocados. But do trees watch TV in silence all through their family Christmas parties? Whatever it is, it puts on its crown of doves and falls into the night out of earshot.
