That's a resonance I hadn't thought of. She's really just rubbing bread on her face. I thought I d avoid using the word bread, though, just to make the whole thing more interesting. Hard crust and soft center allows the reader to imagine the literal bread, but also evokes a whole lot more. You also put the word beaver in quotation marks.
Titles are funny.
They're part of the poem, and they definitely change the light in which everything else is received. I could nudge it into that was between poetry and prose. Prose that's associative, that moves in associative synapse-links rather than proceeding along in a narrative kind of logic. It made me think also of New York School poetics, particularly those poems of Frank O'Hara's that are at once prosaic and inclusive of fairly wild surrealist-style disjunction. Yes, this poem is probably influenced by O'Hara especially.
