| Notes | The poem conjures up an atmosphere of intimidation, oppression and state control whereby a male authority figure conducts a police check and lists out the names of Victor Jara and Salvador Allende as symbols of Chilean resistance against the 1973 Chilean coup and the human rights violations in Chile under the dictatorship. |
