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
