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
