From The Author Of ‘A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose’...
MILK
A white egg and a colored pan and a cabbage showing settlement,
a constant increase.
A cold in a nose, a single cold nose makes an excuse. Two are
more necessary.
All the goods are stolen, all the blisters are in the cup.
Cooking, cooking is the recognition between sudden and nearly
sudden very little and all large holes
A real pint, one that is open and closed and in the middle is
so bad.
Tender colds, seen eye holders, all work, the best of change,
the meaning, the dark red, all this and bitten, really bitten.
Guessing again and golfing again and the best men, the very
best men.
MILK
Climb up in sight climb in the whole utter needles and a guess
a whole guess is hanging. Hanging hanging.
EGGS
Kind height, kind in the right stomach with a little sudden
mill.
Cunning shawl, cunning shawl to be steady.
In white in white handkerchiefs with little dots in a white
belt all shadows are singular they are singular and procured
and relieved.
No that is not the cows shame and a precocious sound, it is
a bite.
Cut up alone the paved way which is harm. Harm is old boat and
a likely dash
APPLE.
Apple plum, carpet steak, seed clam, colored wine, calm seen,
cold cream, best shake, potato, potato and no no gold work with
pet, a green seen is called bake and change sweet is bready,
a little piece a little piece please
A little piece please. Cane again to the presupposed and ready
eucalyptus tree, count out sherry and ripe plates and little
corners of a kind of ham. This is use
TAILS.
Cold pails, cold with joy no joy.
A tiny seat that means meadows and a lapse of cuddles with cheese
and nearly bats, all this went messed. The post placed a loud
loose sprain. A rest is no better. It is better yet. All the
time.
LUNCH.
Luck in loose plaster makes holy gauge and nearly that, nearly
more states, more states come in town light kite, blight not
white.
A little lunch is a break in skate a little lunch so slimy,
a west end of a board line is that which shows a battle beneath
so that necessity is a silk under wear. That is best wet. It
is so natural, and why is there flake, there is flake to explain
exhaust.
A real cold hen is nervous is nervous with a towel with a spool
with real beads. It is mostly an extra sole nearly all that
shaved, shaved with an old mountain, more than that bees more
than that dinner and a bunch of likes that is to say the hearts
of onions aim less.
Cold coffee with a corn a corn yellow and green mass is a gem.
CUPS.
A single example of excellence is in the meat. A bent stick
is surging and might all might is mental. A grand clothes is
searching out a candle not that wheatly not that by more than
an owl and a path. A ham is proud of cocoanut.
A cup is neglected by being all in size. It is a handle and
meadows and sugar any sugar.
A cup is neglected by being full of size. It shows no shade,
in come little wood cuts and blessing and nearly not that not
with a wild bought in, not at all so polite, not nearly so behind.
Cups crane in. They need a pet oyster, they need it so hoary
and nearly choice. The best slam is utter. Nearly be freeze.
Why is a cup a stir and a behave. Why is it so seen.
A cup is readily shaded, it has in between no sense that is
to say music, memory, musical memory.
Peanuts blame, a half sand is holey and nearly.
RHUBARB.
Rhubarb is susan not susan not seat in bunch toys not wild and
laughable not in little places not in neglect and vegetable
not in fold coal age not please.
SINGLE FISH.
Single fish single fish single fish egg-plant single fish sight.
A sweet win and not less noisy than saddle and more ploughing
and nearly well painted by little things so.
Please shade it a play. It is necessary and beside the large
sort is puff.
Every way oakly, please prune it near. It is so found.
It is not the same.
CAKE
Cake cast in went to be and needles wine needles are such.
This is today. A can experiment is that which makes a town,
makes a town dirty, it is little please. We came back. Two bore,
bore what, a mussed ash, ash when there is tin. This meant cake.
It was a sign.
Another time there was extra a hat pin sought long and this
dark made a display. The result was yellow. A caution, not a
caution to be.
It is no use to cause a foolish number. A blanket stretch a
cloud, a shame, all that bakery can tease, all that is beginning
and yesterday yesterday we had it met. It means some change.
No some day.
A little leaf upon a scene an ocean any where there, a bland
and likely in the stream a recollection green land. Why white.
CUSTARD.
Custard is this. It has aches, aches when. Not to be. Not to
be narrowly. This makes a whole little hill.
It is better than a little thing that has mellow real mellow.
It is better than lakes whole lakes, it is better than seeding.
POTATOES.
Real potatoes cut in between.
POTATOES.
In the preparation of cheese, in the preparation of crackers,
in the preparation of butter, in it.
ROAST POTATOES
Roast potatoes for.
ASPARAGUS.
Asparagus in a lean in a lean to hot. This makes it art and
it is wet wet weather wet weather wet.

from Tender Buttons, 1914
