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
