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
