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
