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
