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
