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
