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
