Susie Asado

Today this poem is stuck in my head. It is the first poem I have a clear memory of, and I remember listening to a recording of it. Listening to Gertrude Stein has this strange, calming effect on me; I think some of the sounds remind me of hearing sermons when I was young.




Susie Asado

BY GERTRUDE STEIN
Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet tea.
       Susie Asado.
Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet tea.
       Susie Asado.
Susie Asado which is a told tray sure.
A lean on the shoe this means slips slips hers.
When the ancient light grey is clean it is yellow, it is a silver seller.
This is a please this is a please there are the saids to jelly. These are the wets these say the sets to leave a crown to Incy.
Incy is short for incubus.
A pot. A pot is a beginning of a rare bit of trees. Trees tremble, the old vats are in bobbles, bobbles which shade and shove and render clean, render clean must.   
       Drink pups.   
Drink pups drink pups lease a sash hold, see it shine and a bobolink has pins. It shows a nail.
What is a nail. A nail is unison.
Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet tea.

I will post things here, strange and normal. And pictures of my food that everyone on facebook is sick of seeing.
