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
