287 | the | ||

294 | my | ||
295 | morning | ||
296 | or | ||
297 | the | ||
298 | shower's | ||
299 | morning | ||
300 | or | ||
301 | where | ||
302 | i | ||
303 | put | ||
304 | the | ||
305 | conditioner | ||
306 | or | ||
307 | what | ||
308 | the | ||
309 | initial | ||
310 | conditions | ||
311 | could | ||
312 | have | ||
313 | been | ||
314 | that | ||
315 | decided | ||
316 | i | ||
317 | would | ||
318 | misplace | ||
319 | my | ||
320 | conditioner | ||
321 | today | ||
322 | and | ||
323 | why | ||
324 | and | ||
325 | how | ||
326 | much | ||
327 | planning | ||
328 | was | ||
329 | involved | ||
330 | exactly | ||
331 | that | ||
332 | would | ||
333 | cause | ||
334 | so | ||
335 | far | ||
336 | down | ||
337 | the | ||
338 | production | ||
339 | line | ||
340 | of | ||
341 | this | ||
342 | morning | ||
343 | me | ||
344 | to | ||
345 | wake | ||
346 | up | ||
347 | so | ||
348 | long | ||
349 | after | ||
350 | the | ||
351 | rising | ||
352 | of | ||
353 | the | ||
354 | sun | ||
355 | me | ||
356 | to | ||
357 | stay | ||
358 | inside | ||
359 | all | ||
360 | day | ||
361 | even | ||
362 | after | ||
363 | showering | ||
364 | to | ||
365 | look | ||
366 | at | ||
367 | the | ||
368 | same | ||
369 | computer | ||
370 | screen | ||
371 | to | ||
372 | give | ||
373 | up | ||
374 | the | ||
375 | actual | ||
376 | universe | ||
377 | to | ||
378 | the | ||
379 | universe | ||
380 | in | ||
381 | there | ||
382 | with | ||
383 | its | ||
384 | conditions | ||
385 | where | ||
386 | the | ||
387 | screen | ||
388 | serves | ||
389 | as | ||
390 | sickly | ||
391 | sun | ||
392 | where | ||
393 | there | ||
394 | is | ||
395 | apparently | ||
396 | exactly | ||
397 | what | ||
398 | i | ||
399 | need | ||
400 | no | ||
401 | more | ||
402 | the | ||
403 | same | ||
404 | three | ||
405 | sites | ||
406 | i | ||
407 | visited | ||
408 | this | ||
409 | morning | ||
410 | comprising | ||
411 | my | ||
412 | entire | ||
