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
