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
