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
