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
