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
