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
