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
