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
