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
