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
