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
