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
