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
