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
