| Paratext Text | for David Williams ‘The public knows very well the distinction between wrestling and boxing; it knows that boxing is a Jansenist sport based on a demonstration of excellence.’ Roland Barthes |
| Notes | The date in the poem's title is the date of the assassination of Martin Luther King. The poem also includes references to Wilson and Clemenceau in what seems to be the context of WW I, and to death penalty. |
