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
