The Machine

Feed the machine, feed the machine.

Observe the machine as it's fed. Listen closely to the faint sounds of pleasure it makes.

Tell the machine that you understand its processes. Describe the machine to itself; do not merely praise or insult, but be discriminating.

At certain times during its cycles, the machine will anoint a selection of its feeders with a special oil. This oil is sweet and smells of home.

The smell of home is sometimes overwhelming within the machine.
