I did a whole
series of artworks combining various pride flags with black and white
footprints. It was a way of bringing things together. Can bringing two distinct
art images together bring people together? When the ancient prophets added a
physical act to their words, for example Jeremiah breaking the pottery flask
(Jer 19:10), such an act was not just a visual aid, but was thought to actually
set the prophecy in motion. I’m no prophet, but artists sometimes serve a
similar function.
Things Go Together

How often do you
find yourself well-situated
Lookin' like you
made it?
More often than
not, things go wrong
And you're not
contented
You intended to
be far away by now
You oughtta be
gone by now
It's always
better when things go together
Always better
when you get the mix just right
Always better
when things go together
Always better
when you get your way
It's always
better when things go together
Fall into place
on opening night
Always better
when things go together
Just the way you
want it and exactly on time
You made a
promise to yourself when you left high school:
You'd be big soon
You said to your
friends, "See you again
And I'll be
returning when I'm earning enough to make me proud."
You oughtta be
home by now
It's always
better when things go together
Always better
when you get the mix just right
Always better
when things go together
Always better
when you get your way
It's always
better when things go together
Fall into place
on opening night
Always better when
things go together
Just the way you
want it and exactly on time
Always better
when things go together
Always better
You tried to be a
movie star
Even though I
warned ya, went to California
Your plane had a
scare, fell from the air
As the cabin
panicked, made a desperate landing
But the gods took
a liking to you
You landed in
Studio Two
It's always
better when things go together
Always better
when you get the mix just right
Always better
when things go together
Always better
when you get your way
It's always
better when things go together
Fall into place
on opening night
Always better
when things go together
Just the way you
want it and exactly on time
