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
