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
