Mossy green mats form underneath
This bed of roses, like yoga rolls
and grassy knolls of mediated
innovated and transfixed models
Green Man listens in with beakers
that amplify the bedrooms green
his leafy protection of this worldly
Collection of plastic spitfires flight
Night-time in the tip of tongue
With a mouth of super glue tips
And asparagus spears tears that
drip into bits of the beds peace

Like the internal rhymes. I'm intrigued by the use of "beakers" in this context. Surely you don't mean those glass vessels from science class?

Yeah that's it beakers
Nosey cups to the wall. Beaker is also that boy of Sesame St with orange hair and a funny voice. That's the great thing about the lexical it can be a number of different things to a number of different people. What also comes to my concious when I read this again is the old medical system of leeching, or blood letting. That also entailed glass jars to heal the sick, by sucking a glass onto the skin by lighting and creating dioxide which again creates a vacuum. I must say though judyjudyjudy when I wrote this I'm sure I was thinking something totally normal and coherent. Thanks for your pleasant comment, it means alot. Best wishes Rob B.

This is so weird - I love this! I am so excited that someone saw a greenman in this painting... I think the interpretation is crazily creative!
