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
