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
