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
