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
