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
