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
