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
