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
