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
