an anecdote           
                                          
 today it rained,  and i would go outside 
 i thought, so i  smoked  a pipe  and got 
 dressed,   and  outside   the  rain  had 
 turned  into snow  so thick that it  was 
 as dense fog ...  and then i went to get 
 the mail,  but  there was a woman and we 
 talked  a little. now because i was high 
 and  it was snowing so funny  and  i had 
 an umbrella against the  snow,  but snow 
 all  over my face anyway, and i wondered 
        about myself, and my life
