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
