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
