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
