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
