 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.
