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
