Rock Rift Relationship Tiff

In the presence of one seventh of what Earth requires wondering at,

we’re wired to wonder instead

how to function under ego

adhere to people

and forget it’s there.

I had this epiphany at the Grand Canyon

screaming Bohemian Rhapsody with my companions,

a distraction from exhaustion and relationship tiffs.

What did these rock rifts,

this spectacular terrain tear,

have to do with us and what's fair?
