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
