Michael's cat
When I look up from my desk, I see pictures in all directions.  One is a drawn picture that Michael did.  He colored a house.  It is transparent with sea foam trim and a domed roof and chimney to boot. A man stands next to it and his left arm is sticking through the transparent abode below the roof and ceiling.  He too is transparent, but he is a purple man and rather rotund. His legs enlarge as they approach the ground like extended telescopes.  At the base are three toes on each spyglass. They are deep-rooted in the earthy brown muck known as ground.  A red and blue Venus flytrap, see through as well, grow straight and sturdy from the mucky earth.  Up above is a scribbled sky with an orange sun.  Somewhere between the earth and sky floats a blue tree.  It is really a kernel of popcorn on a stick, but you know what was intended.  It hangs freely just below the warm, glowing orange orb. There is a feline, drawn on white paper with a red pen, cut out, and pasted to this bucolic scene, as if to say, “Oops, I almost forgot the cat?”
