Watch For Rocks

Driving down 89A from Flagstaff to Sedona
The signs said watch for rocks
Brilliant advice
But the signmaker didn't think out of the box
Watch for dancing penny grass
Watch for surging trees
Watch for posing manzanita bushes
Watch the pine arch and sneeze
Watch a brilliant oriental sunset
Over red ridges that make alluring faces at you
Watch the clouds that shape-shift before your eyes
Watch the sky beckoning blue
I had eighteen cars backed-up
Behind my imagination
As I watched the grass rock the tree
They were all watching my tail pipe
