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
