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
