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
