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
