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
