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
