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
