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
