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
