I prefer not having direct references pointed out and I wasn't sure where the poem started because of all the annotations. I second Billy's suggestion. It may be tacky, but I like to put a short paragraph explaining the context of my poems sometimes.
After reading it again. I appreciate poems that require some thought, but usually those employ metaphor instead of references to things I am not familiar with. I had a hard time following it. Maybe you could do a paragraph before and explain the references or at least give the reader some familiarity with them.
Looking forward to the revised version.
