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
