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
