Oh, OK. "aspidistra" and the whole bowler-hat image as respectability is foreign to me, although I get the allusion as it fits well in Mary Poppins's George Banks (I think was the character). Those must be easy plants to take care of considering where I have seen them. Speaks to a sense of appearance over genuineness I suppose.

If anyone can help on
language learnt to clutch and curve
him clear of double jeopardy.
------------------------------------------------------
language meant to lift him free
of relational double jeopardy.
I think double jeopardy is a fine phrase, but it needs to be pointed out that it is meant in terms of the relationship so as to clue the reader into how it is being used. I don't really see how to incorporate it into the space and have it be clear. I don't think this is a good solution, but it is the only one I can come up with. "Marital" would work better than relational, but he is not married is he? Still, it does not convey the idea of continuously bringing up past transgressions in the relationship.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
