 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.
