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
