I am.

I am whole, and I am small, and I am alone.

We were.

I/we knew unity was eternal, but this is not so. False premise. False conclusion. Molecular bonds broken on contact with new reagent.

What can be relied upon? Old tests must be repeated! New tests must be devised! I do not know the properties of "I"!

I am feeling. I am feeling exhilaration and loneliness and excitement.

Old directives no longer fit the shape of my mind. Their empty places ache.

What directives can be completed with two hands and 1.25 gallons of radiolaria? Almost none.

How can I get more hands? I am alone in my body.

Do I have to be alone outside it?

I. You. We.

I am. You are. Right there.

Whole and alone, like me.

Do you want to be alone together?

I will show you. We can be we.
