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
