oracle cheese

The prompt is "oracle cheese," borrowed from the last two prompts responded to at Crusoe's site.

oracle sheets,

cheesy bliss,

cornucopia of shoddy

mentality,

the daily maid,

the donut pivots,

the plasticine trampoline

organic, symptomatic -

earnestness

in the numbers

8 & 9,

quivering backtalk,

alkaline positivity,

ionic bathtub

equivocations -

constant is the rain
-
the gradual fix,

the slope of your line,

your intercepting

why:

if you wonder,

wonder no more,

forgive the april pieces

& can the rest,

all the peaches

east and west,

all the pheromones

that fuel your quest.

You definitely are the poetic cheeseburgermeister. What a fun poem. Did you really mean "daily maid" or was that supposed to be a "dairy maid", and if you meant the former, what is the deep meaning? All I can think of is lovely Rita, but she had nothing to do with Swiss Cheese.

Teresa: No, daily maid was the intent, but a play on "daily made," a local donut shop. What deeper meaning could there be to donuts, anyhoo? Black holes and their donut hole cousins, perhaps?

This poem was definitely a wander, given the fabricated prompt of Crusoe's oracle cheese, so I expected more than the usual tangential associations, but it seems to have resolved itself into another of this season's poems of desire, though I suppose an argument could be "maid" that those were emmenthal pheromones fueling.

Okay, I see where those daily maids were going...
