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
