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
