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
