Run Up Wild

   "In the middle of the road, there was a stone there was a stone in the middle of the road there was a stone in the middle of the road, there was a stone. I will never forget this event in the life of my weary retinas. I will never forget that in the middle of the road there was a stone there was a stone in the middle of the road in the middle of the road, there was a stone." Carlos Drummond de Andrade.
