    They're older than they've ever been, and, now, they're even older.

    Maybe they mean it metaphorically: as though this individual's "head isn't attached" ie she's kind of a ditz. The thing is that John Linnell is both intelligent enough to make that connection and delightfully peculiar enough to mean it literally.

    My take: a cephalophore was usually a saint who'd been beheaded. This girl could have been publicly shunned for taking a particular position. The green soldiers (little plastic soldiers) represent an adolescent view of combat, whereas the green tea has more of a peaceful, earthy meaning. I envision a girl who is vocally anti-war, advocating peace instead of fighting ("melting down some army guys to make green tea") and who finds herself socially martyred (a cephalophore) because of it.
