"Homage: Middle" is a bonus exercise, not to be found in Raymond Queneau's original Exercices de Style nor in the translations.

Picture the rush-hour S bus,
That chap, with the long neck and felt hat,
The way he thought that everyone would tread on him,
And the speed with which he sat.
Now see, much later, when,
With a friend he walks; and then
Let’s repeat these scenes in different modes,
Over and over again.
