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
