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
