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
