always tears in  my eyes when using  the 
                 machine.                 
                                          
 i  don't think it's  hormonal  overload. 
 there's no  grief  or  joy  as my  water 
 rolls down  my face.  i  notice  nothing 
 until my chin is  wet. wipe it off  with 
 the back of my hand. but i usually  keep 
           crying for a while.            
                                          
 i  theorize some kind  of  resonance  in 
   the neural interface; some saturation  
 signal being tripped? the  connection is 
        imperfect and often induces       
  single-sense hallucinations. acute but  
 hollow  hunger.  sand  grains  under  my 
  fingertips. strange tastes and scents.  
                                          
 and  i  mean,  maybe  it  isn't  to  far 
 fetched  that  something  like  that can 
  cause autonomous reactions? dry mouth.  
     finger spasms. opened tear ducts.
