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
