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
