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
