You can find me tethered to the stars
Swinging back and forth like a pendulum
Drafted by the ethereal vanguard
But I'm also down the hall in the grandfather clock
You can find me where streets meet avenues
Where forms diamonds of dew on a web
Weave your way to a sweeping ocean view
Let the water chew your darkness away
You seem to be tethered to the carpeted seats
On the crosstown bus as you always miss your stop
Greeted by a grimace from the ever-snarling wind
It whips your clothes to your skin as if your brooding wasn't enough
And later
You can find me where your lips lock with his
As if you both had been previously painted by Vermeer
And tomorrow you'll still be tethered to that kiss
So, wander down the hall
Give the key a twist
Hear the tick tock and find me
