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
