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
