I'm a riddle in nine syllables
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers.
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Borded the train there's no getting off.

Metaphors
I think that the speaker is a pregnant woman. She uses these words--- elephant, ponderous, fat to describe her fat figure because of pregnancy. Her tone is unhappy. The first line of this poem is " I'm a riddle in the nine syllables(metaphors)."
So she said that she is a means, a stage, even that she is a cow in calf. The pregnant woman needs nutrient for both of she and her child. So she has eaten a bag of green apples. In the final line of this poem, her tone is sad. She expresses that she has no choices, and has to keep this child. Once she boards a train, she can't get off any more. It seems to narrate that a woman has no way out when she gets pregnant even if she doesn't want to have a child. I guess that she innuendos the hardship and the poor situation of a pregnant woman. Perhaps her husband doesn't love her any more owing to her bad and fat appearance or she lacks love and comfort from her husband, so she wrote this poem.
Cheers!!!
