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
