.&.&&..&.. 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         .&.&.&.&.&
