"house of clocks"

We pass the time adjusting hands
in circuits none too circumscribed
symbolically attuned by touch
in nicks of time, as we pass by
we've memorized the fast and slow
and understand relationally
just what we need to do to fix
the face in front of us, by glance
at its three nearest neighbors, and
triangulating on towards tea.
