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
