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
