Dinosaur Feat

Before an ocean washed over this turf
and these red rocks were shaped by wind and surf...

Before the Anasazi came and went
leaving scant traces of the time they spent...

Before the hiss-boom of uranium
and before the zoom of titanium...

When dinosaurs roamed the Earth long ago,
when everything moved so very slow...

Back in those times of green and sun and rain
big-haunched reptiles danced on soupy terrain...

One pink dawn when dinosaurs did their dance
their footprints were frozen in mud by chance...

And you can follow their rhythm before you die
in Moab where the Dinosaur Tracks lie.

Check out their moves by the space of the grooves,
the snappy beat by the heft of their feet.

Eons later there's a reverberating "THUNK!"
you can hear if you feel lucky; so do ya, punk?
