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.
