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
