The Vasquez Rocks

I took the road less traveled

Despite the warning so near

I channeled my inner imp

I funneled away my fear

These rocks, those rocks

Cinematically I hold so dear

Nomenclatured as “Vasquez”

Simply all I revere

I first saw them in Star Trek

The episode was the “Arena”

Kirk battling the Gorn

With eyes of green patina

The Vasquez Rocks appeared again

In the original “Planet of the Apes”

I, like Taylor, would find my destiny

Only if we traipse

Add “Dante’s Peak”, and “Galaxy Quest”

Then “Amazon Women on the Moon”

Include “Blazing Saddles”

And (possibly) even “Dune”

So why will I ignore the sign?

Why will I proceed blissfully apathetic?

Because I should be a movie star

With my personality so magnetic
