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.
