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
