First Edit: Red River of the North

I'm on the border of feeling stupid and absurdly puzzled about the meaning of this poem. Is this related to some news I didn't read?

You, who devour woman and girls
like chocolate covered raisins,

One woman? Multiple girls? And they are all like chocolate covered raisins? A Costco blanket?

Man, I'm sorry, but where in the world did all of this come from?

I don't mean to be any kind of nuisance: I'm genuinely curious. What am I missing besides the entire point of this collection of words?

To be fair, I like these lines very much:

You'd probably brag to the oceans if you could:
compare your body counts,
...
finish your beers, go home, and dare to dream.


I did finish a beer, however.
