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
