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
