 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.
