    When i run it, i get this bizarre output:
    l(a le af fa ll s) one l iness
    concatenated, this gives "l(a leaf falls)oneliness". Is the poem supposed to be like that?
      I have got the same result... I am sure it's a mystery ;)
      I hope that we will have an index next time

      Yes, that is correct. It is a poem by E.E. Cummings. I was thinking of posting it under poetry, but I decided not to. If you search on Google or something you should find an explanation of the poem if poetry isn't your thing.
        All right, that true !
        I don't really understand the meaning of this poem... but the syntax is correct. And I found your obfuscated not very hard but funny.
