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
