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
