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
