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
