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
