Have you ever been to Oakland?

No. Not physically.

Spirituality?

Sort of.

How do you mean?

I fell in love with this woman on the phone. We used to talk every day. Sometimes, till three in the morning. Talking on the phone. A couple of thousand miles away. It’s amazing how hearts reach that far. 

They say Oakland has a lot of crime.

Couldn’t tell you. We didn’t talk about crime. Talked about meeting one day. No more of this phone stuff.

Why didn’t you drive out there?

To Oakland?

Yeah.

Too scared of truth.
