David Lynch is the perfect subject for acrostic poetry. Some day I may attempt a nonuple (that’s NINE; the highest I’ve ever gone is Octuple) acrostic, and if I choose Mr. Lynch as the subject, the confusedness will at least match his. This one, being a mere triple, is fairly strightforward, but I do a little with the Duality theme he’s used himself…

Pistachio Redeemers
This week the phrase “Pistachio Redeemers” has been nagging at me. It is as random as David Lynch ever gets, I think, and what I ended up doing to exorcize it helps me, I think, to “get” David Lynch a little more. So I have comic-strip continuity with a warped boy and girl bantering, thus:
B: Moustachioed schemers?
G: No.
B: Kardashian bad-dreamers?
G: No. But–nice try.
B: Eustachian tube-feeders?
G: En-oh.
B: Well, WHAT then?
G: PISTACHIO REDEEMERS!
B: Oh. COOL!
G: Thx.
B: ROCK Band?
G: No.
B: Stamp collectors?
G: No!
B: Messianic chewables?
G: Maybe.
G: Time will tell.
As for the acrostic poetry, it is a little less Lynchian, and it cleaves to almost-exact iambic septameter, and exactness of alphas/spaces per line. There is a missing word. Careful readers will be able to find what it is and where it should go. A reader perhaps more clever than I am might know how to fix the line to render the content and preserve iambic septameter.
One final note: this is the first blog post I have made of previously unpublished material.
