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
