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
