 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.
