The Autobiography of Rose
Gerbude Stein
How does she know her name
is
Rose. She knows her name
is
Rose because they call her Rose.
If
they did not call her Rose would
her name be Rose. Oh yes she knows her name is Rose.
That is the autobiography of Rose.
The Autobiography of Rose.
Rose knew about afraid and when it happened she knew about
afraid. This
is
what happened.
Grass that is cut is hay.
There there is sunshine
~
Here there is snow
There there is a little boy
Here there is a little girl
There his name is Allan
Here her name is Rose
Is it interesting.
Rose has an autobiography even
if
her name was not Rose.
Let us make believe that her name is not Rose. And if her name
is
not Rose what would be her autobiography. It would not be the
autobiography of Rose because her name would not be Rose. But it is
the autobiography of Rose even if her name is not Rose oh yes indeed
it
is
the autobiography of Rose.
The Autobiography of Rose.
What happened.
Hay is grass when it is cut.
Hay has nothing to do with water.
Marshes have to do with water but not hay.
But when hay is on a hill-side and there
is
water. Hay can damn
the water. And Rose, Rose with her father and her mother can
be
caught by all that water but Rose and her mother and her father were
caught by all that water. That is the water went away.
The Autobiography of Rose.
Nobody did not remember that her name was Rose. And
if
her
name was Rose did that have anything to do with playing checkers
and being beaten by her grandmother, oh no that had nothing to do
with her name being Rose.
Rose does know the difference between summer and winter and
this
has something to do with her name being Rose. It has something
do with her name being Rose.
