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
