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
