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
