 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.
