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
