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
