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
