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
