Oreo Rising
Oreo Planet sleeps above the event horizons deep
Black holes, dark matter, form between the light
Vanilla stars follow Orion’s galactic path on course
Along the ecliptic everything is night
Planet Oreo stands alone in clouds of wonder
A mystery in the universe as something baked
Is that a small unleavened cake, crisp, flat and sweet?
Is that a cookie floating in the distant mist oh so deep?
Mirrors reflect the brilliance of the sun
Life is black and white and sometimes dumb
Oreo stands alone in cosmic clouds of wonder
Transitioning from cookie company into what?
Oreo is not just a planet but a cookie politic
“Transgenders exist” and that’s enough
So have another lick and don't confuse it with a bite
