 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.
