enter the field / remarkable topiary / sit together amongst lush grass strewn flower clover / hawthorn hedges high / clipped in obscure forms / old eyes young eyes inspecting / without recognition / exchanging glance open speculation / sun shines warm and clear upon this scene / field surface alive with activity / breeze runs fresh as a stream / Fishface peels apple / quartering / cutting out the core / carefully removing thin slices / of green skin / eat pieces one two three four / two three mouthfuls per piece / anything between eight and twelve in all / Angelino paying scant attention to these calculations munches contentedly with good teeth / afternoon ahead of them / out comes the easel / arranges colours across tha palette / pupil makes ready tha stool / place intricate hinged panel on the easel / who chose the direction? / ol artist astride tha stool sets ta work / two gates in this field / one by which they enter / paints a picture of the gate by which they leave / flanked by weird topiary
