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
