Thoughts of Michael Angelo as he painted his ceiling.
Michael Angelo Vs. Fly

I was wondering as I painted my ceiling here at home, how old Michael Angelo might have handled this problem while working on the Sistine Chapel. I also imagined God himself, looking down on Mike from his depiction of "The Creation of Adam", and perhaps thinking the same thing about him, "how long is this guy going to be here, befouling my art - four years? Enough already! Shoo!!! LOL! (The lines, "Mike sighs from its sky" and "Looking up which is down") is in reference to differing points of view; Mikes' view, in contrast to the flies', and perhaps even God's point of view in contrast to Michael's. Whether you are the one looking up or down, depends on who or what you are God; Man, or fly.
