She's the Grandest Canyon 

flash floods and constant currents 

carved her sweet countenance

A dangerous torrent 

years of subtle torment 

Eroded the rocks 

and solidified them once more 

solid and sturdy 

so very reliable 

stacks of pretty stone 

been the same for a while now 

Pink and grey

almost soft from a distance 

a monument 

to the true American experience 

She wasn't built in a day 

she won't be toppled in one either 

she's the grandest of canyons 

and I wouldn't have it any other way
