From Four Saints in Three Acts

By Gertrude Stein

Pigeons on the grass alas.

  Pigeons on the grass alas.

  Short longer grass short longer longer shorter yellow grass. Pigeons

large pigeons on the shorter longer yellow grass alas pigeons on the

grass.

  If they were not pigeons what were they.

  If they were not pigeons on the grass alas what were they. He had

heard of a third and he asked about it it was a magpie in the sky.

If a magpie in the sky on the sky can not cry if the pigeon on the

grass alas can alas and to pass the pigeon on the grass alas and the

magpie in the sky on the sky and to try and to try alas on the

grass alas the pigeon on the grass the pigeon on the grass and alas.

They might be very well they might be very well very well they might

be.
