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
