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
