Yes, I know.
Cervantes and Shakespeare
died the very same day.
The greatest writers
of these great languages
passed synchronously.
I was aware of that.

I have an alibi.
I was not on the continent
nor on the island
at the day in question.
I had no knowledge
of the whereabouts of the men
nor did I have any known motivation
to commit either crime.

It is even hearsay
to suggest that foul play was involved.
I want nothing further to do
with this conversation.
In fact
for future reference
regarding this subject:
no comment.
