 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.
