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
