Mikes Diner, the diners are skeletons, the face of humanity is center of the painting floating above everything, guns, grasshoppers, a saxophone being held by a very prim and proper woman of the past that would never play the devils music otherwise. Reality of Truth vs what others portray. Michael Lawrence grew up in California Farm country and often saw beyond what others preached or they tried to portray their lives as perfection despite having imperfections
