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
