 can  you feel it?  behind things, inside 
      things, something is happening.     
     something between nothing and the    
           collapse of reality.           
                                          
 the  objects  themselves do not  change. 
 the  physicality  of a person  stays the 
                   same.                  
                                          
 but  items  have   relations   with  one 
 another,  and  here  is the  revolution. 
     the relationships congregate, the    
 networks become meshes,  and they spread 
 out like  heat  nets  over  kale  farms. 
                                          
 things become  part  of  bigger  things. 
 people  become  part of  bigger  actors. 
 often too big to be  seen - but  perhaps 
                 felt...                  
                                          
 lets walk backwards  trough  the sludge! 
 what's an animal?  a collective of cells 
        with a single mind (kinda)        
 what's a  cell? actually  in this  sense 
 it's a  collective  of  cells and lesser 
   molecular machines ("proteins" et al)  
            and other fragments           
                                          
 what's  a  molecule?  just  a  bunch  of 
 atoms bound  (fey concept) together by a 
          set of ineffable rules          
 what's  an  atom?  (things  are  getting 
 alien  at  this  point)  well  basically 
              it's an "orb"               
                                          
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                          
 we're gonna lose  ourselves in it. maybe 
 we   have    been    for   some   while.
