Broad shoulders of art
Pregnant with vital threat
Brittleness only the
First letter in the book
With a single look
And a bold gesture
Measures the distance
Between worlds
Either dropping the Han vase
As a work of art
Because we will do more
And cannot be burdened
Or killing the stone buddha
As a vengeance
Because they know how small we are
And witnessed our fear
