 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.
