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
