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
