 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.
