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
