paths, crossing, diverging, then crossing again?, but not crossing, like an overpass, where it's not the same route, but the direction might be the same, the location, time, and place, that might be the same, but not the same path, like an overlap, an overlay, a transparency, double decker, but never expected. the veering off too long ago, in the past, back on exit 5, but here, near route 15, exit 423, the expressways are on a similar stretch of land, and it's so odd. How does that happen, that strange confluence of the universe, the joke? the humor? just to show how small the world really is.
