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
