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
