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
