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
