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
