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
