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
