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
