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
