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
