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
