Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein / With Two Shorter Stories

by Gertrude Stein

In coming again she was one who in coming again was one who might not have been coming again. She was one and in not coming again she was receiving that if she would be one coming again she would be one who was one who might not have been coming again.

She was not coming again. In not coming again she was being one who was one who would not be coming again. In being that one she was receiving that she was being one who would not be coming again. In being that one she was one who being one receiving something was receiving that she was one who might be one coming again.

In coming again she came and in coming she was one continuing to be receiving that she was one who might have been one who would not be coming again, she was one continuing to be receiving that she was one who might have been one who would be coming again.

She had not come, she did come, in coming she came and in having come she had been one who had been one who would come. In having been one who had been one who would come she was one who could have been one who would not come. She came.

In coming she was one coming and in being one coming she was one who had come and in being one who had come she was one who was one not coming if she had been one who had not come. If she had been one who had not come she would have been that one the one who had come.

She would not go on remembering that she had not been using anything. She would go on remembering that she had been using something. In remembering that she had been using something she was being that one the one who had been coming. In remembering that she had been using something she was being that one the one who might not have been coming.

In being one she was one who if it took courage to be one being living could be one being living. In being one being living she was living in being one having courage and in being one having courage being one being living. If it took courage to do something and she did that thing she was one being one who had done that thing. If it took courage to do something she having done that thing she was being one who had courage. If something was done and she had not done that thing she was being one who had not done that thing. If something was done and it needed courage to do that thing and she had not done that thing she was then one who had not done that thing.

In doing everything in being one doing something she was being one who was doing what she did for every one. In doing what she did for every one she was one doing anything for any one. In doing anything for any one she was doing everything.

She did everything, she did anything, she did something for any one and in doing something for any one she was being one who was not needing that anything was being done. In not needing that anything was being done she was being one and being one she was one whom anybody accepting was realising as being one who was one who not needing that anything was being done was one doing anything.

In being one doing anything she was one remembering that she was not needing that anything was done. In being one remembering that she was not needing that anything is done she was one reminding any one of something they should be doing. In reminding any one of something they should be doing she was being one doing anything. In doing anything she was being one being that one and being that one and not needing that anything be done she was one coming. And in coming and in going and in staying and in waiting and in running and in asking and in buying and in loving she was one doing that thing doing anything and being that one one not needing that anything be done. She was being that one and in being that one she was one who if she could be one telling everything was telling that if she were doing a thing and it took courage to do that thing she had done that thing. She was one and if she could be one telling anything she was one who would be one telling that if she did not do something and it would take courage to do that thing she not having done that thing would be telling every one everything.
