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
