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
