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
