 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.
