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
