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
