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
