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
