 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.
