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
