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
