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
