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
