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
