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
