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
