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
