To Be a Hero
Ai Weiwei Study of Perspective in Glass (Violet), 2018-2019

turn your tank away
holster your arm
keep the poison in the vial
above all, do no harm
it’s hard to be a hero
for it can mean
setting your life to zero
with not much in between
heroes are especially needed
when truth is in short supply
and humanity finds itself on the edge
not really knowing why
