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
