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
