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
