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
