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
