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
