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
