 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.
