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
