Gertrude Stein

from Stanzas in Meditation: Stanza I

I caught a bird which made a ball  
And they thought better of it.
But it is all of which they taught
That they were in a hurry yet
In a kind of a way they meant it best
That they should change in and on account  
But they must not stare when they manage  
Whatever they are occasionally liable to do
It is often easy to pursue them once in a while  
And in a way there is no repose
They like it as well as they ever did  
But it is very often just by the time  
That they are able to separate
In which case in effect they could
Not only be very often present perfectly  
In each way whichever they chose.  
All of this never matters in authority
But this which they need as they are alike  
Or in an especial case they will fulfill
Not only what they have at their instigation  
Made for it as a decision in its entirety  
Made that they minded as well as blinded  
Lengthened for them welcome in repose  
But which they open as a chance
But made it be perfectly their allowance  
All which they antagonise as once for all  
Kindly have it joined as they mind
