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
