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
