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
