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
