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
