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
