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
