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
