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
