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
