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
