"Out There"

-

Do you remember that old TV series, "Get Smart"? You remember at the beginning where Maxwel Smart is walking down the secret corridor and there are all of those doors that open sideways, and upside down and gateways and stuff? I think that everybody keeps a whole bunch of doors just like these between themselves and the world. But when you're in love, all of your doors are open, and all of "their" doors are open. And you roller-skate down your halls together.

Let me try again. Im not good at this.

Karla and I fell in love somewhere "out there"- I think that's the way it happens-"out there". The two of you start talking about your feelings and your feelings float outside of you like vapors, and they mix like a fog. Before you realize it, the two of you have become the same mist and you realize you can never return to being just a lone cloud again, because the isolation would be intolerable.
