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
