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
