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
