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
