And there is a terrifying moment when it first hits the light of day, where we think, __oly mother of God! What have I done? How could I have been to casual with my crazy ways?__ut the man on the bus just smiles and nods his head, and the casher takes a moment to look us in the eye and the neighbor sits for a cup of tea and together we move into some new agreements that we are all in fact crazy and it__ so much nicer to be out of the closet with it all.
