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
