 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.
