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
