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
