#This code takes the grammatical structure of Gwendolyn Brooks' poem "An Aspect of Love, Alive in the Ice and Fire"
#which closes out her short book _Riot_, on Broadside Press. What this code does is slot in, at random, parts of speech 
#from the entire book, creating infinite versions of this poem out of Brooks' own words.
