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
