| Paratext Text | (In ómós do John Howard Griffin, údar Black Like Me) |
| Notes | This is an elegy to John Howard Griffin (1920-1980), an American journalist who changed the colour of his skin in order to explore the racism experienced by black people in the Southern states of America during the Jim Crow years. The poem recounts the experiment he undertook: travelling on public transport as a black man. |
