 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.
