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
