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
