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
