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
