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
