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
