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
