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
