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
