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
