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
