Sections, cross-sections, segments

This is for Shannon, Maria, and Logan: my central nervous system posse.

I am in your machine.

There are rules to follow so things will work out perfectly, but I am in your machine.
I get a space all to myself; I wrap up tight and hide my face.
And then everyone retreats into another room where the lights are low.
Then I am alone.
This is when the music begins.
I think in repeating patterns because of you.
I imagine how these noises apply to different levels of scans.
Sections.
Cross-sections.
Sub-segments.
What will you find?
What if it stays the same?
What if it looks different?
