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
