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
