 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.
