 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.
