Bivouac to Monday’s come Soggy blockchains They ask if I hold consequent occupation—running same circuits of oil roads To answer with ‘production’ or else ‘no’ Say, as yesterday I lost my notebook at one of three places Or, an evening in a large building full of people You can’t specify location or cause That’s motivation (likely intrinsic) Picked up from the Cartesian wake Now, what’s condition?
