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
