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
