##&§*^«^¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^«
