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
