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
