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
