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
