 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.
