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
