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
