Life is a Canyon
Grant Johnson
There's a knife in my leg
but that knife is life.
Life is rife with strife,
something Barney Fife.
Can't you hear it jingle
as it cuts into my marrow
and feeds off my despair-o?
Something Clarence Darrow.
Can you hear it jangle and squish
as it reads me the morning paper
tells me of the latest caper?
Something Don Draper.
Life isn't so much a knife
as it is your stalwart companion
from whence you were a man, young,
traveling in the canyon.
No wait, life is a canyon.
