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
