Semiotic Virus

What is the name of the rock formation on the trail to 
Barker Dam? Cat stretched out and sleeping on my lap. 
Toilet paper vertical, paper towels horizontal. Pickup 
trucks, freight trains, chickens in the yard. Hualapai 
pinyon, ponderosa. Croatan Sound. Forest City Joe. 
Eisenhower highway matrix. Because the air is irrespirable. 
Wash your face after eating a prose poem.

Pellucidar

Edgar Rice's burro cairns leftoverture trails threading 
nimbostratus skyward to reservoir sits & giggles in storylines. 
Letterbox catgut lapwing yaws the cruciform paper productions, 
X marking the mid-tempo earth's core punned afoul. People of 
the tall pines croak timbered citadel coffee while Dwight 
Howard and least heat moon Keanu Reeves' careless suffocate. 
Cranium bidets pro's words to chew on.
