Identifier: CC-13319-13620
Scope and Contents

The layout and implications of this poem are similar to Arc d'Triomphe May 1968. Here the Eiffel tower formed by calligraphic text substitutes for Arc d'Triomphe and receives ejaculate from a penis shaped with calligraphic text, newspaper headlines and a collaged Albert-Birot print (Paridis). Text of the poem is a sympathetic response to the student rebellion in France during May 1968. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
