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
