I agree with Geraldine - her reading of the Motion poem, & her miffed (sorry I had to look up "miff" but I know what it is now, and I can say, I'm miffed off too!) reaction to Rupert's aggressive post.
In fact, Rupert seems to posit the most conservative limiting of the imagination possible in the aid of his critique, questioning the existence of "naked hands" as a phrase. There are a million compound phrases such as, say, "bone tree", that communicate something in a flash, & these would be presumably cut back too.
"The Red Gloves" - a restaurant rendez-vous, the after-life, sex? It's all very interesting and is also strangely "filmic", a Bunuel sequence perhaps; of course the dinner would never begin, or end, or you'd go around enlisting the police to find your gloves, while you were still blatantly wearing them...
