broken clocks

we are always on our way

we beat our chests,

broken clocks, we are honest twice a day.

 

our groundhogs overstay

in cuckoo nests

we are always on our way

 

in metric evenings led astray,

most of us have been recessed,

broken clocks, we are honest twice a day.

 

we are made to coil halfway,

beat those who love us best

we are always on our way.

 

we make time prepaid

and tendons compressed,

broken clocks, we are honest twice a day

 

we say

we are guests

we are always on our way

broken clocks, we are honest twice a day.
