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
