short info about "ver:sus"

"versus" isn’t only the latin term for "against" but also for "verse".
in this spirit, the poem "siehe ich wusste es sind solche" by rainer maria rilke is interpreted as a contest between nameless actors in four boxing matches, which symbolically, in combination with the spoken text, characterise life itself. vivere militare est.
