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
