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.
