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
