#178: Work Together (A Socialist Tapestry)

Flags hang from the gallery ceiling representing all activisms that fall, or should fall, on the political left.  All strands and points of view are represented.  The bottom end of each flag is frayed so that they carry on and dangle down.  These frayed ends are then knotted to the frayed ends of every other flag, connecting all to each other.


sailing under all flags

we should all be socialists

and raise each other up


we should all be everythingists

advocates for each other

for we face obstacles in common 

and can only beat them together


competition narrows and demeans

us, makes us more like them

undermining and exploding

holding on and pulling down


to live as fearlessly as a child

we must first dismantle 

the entire prison together 


sailing under all flags

we should all be everything

for to raise each other up
