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
