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
