As paths diverge, I look around  at the parts of me,  refused ignored disregarded  scattered about,  and begin  to gather them one by one:  care hope effort understanding,  and weave them into  a blanket of renewal

Laughter pealed from me unintentionally escaping, while observing  a mundane exchange,  shot into space  without warning. It burst from me  unbounded, with irrational duration,  and returned for a second encore, then a third.
