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
