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
