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
