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
