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
