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.
