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
