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
