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
