Little Green Buttons - meaning Summary
Playful Revenge and Attraction
This comic, narrative poem tells of a married woman whose neglected relationship, signaled by a honeymoon that ended a decade ago and a husband asleep on the sofa, prompts her to get decorative "little green buttons" on her body. The buttons are a provocative, playful response that shifts power and rekindles desire: the husband finally notices and spends evenings trying to undo them, restoring attention and intimacy.
