Wise Crack

now there’s a story to be told
if you can catch my drift
across both oceans and plateaus
you look, you’ll find a rift

some places you can barely tell
and others, ring of fire
volcanoes, islands, seas that swell
and magma their attire

but there’s a place where there’s a crack
that’ll swallow a whole car
beware, it’ll have you for a snack
it’s open, wide ajar

don’t make the news, be careful looking
when checking what the Earth is cooking
