Tense - Paper Arms

To say that we have worked it out

Would be a stretch

We’re just balancing here

Between the past and present tense

No safety net

No harness

I’m tired of all these telephones

Bright screens and such

But how can it be, in these modern days

So easy to reach

So easy to lose touch

No safety nets

No harnesses

No hidden wires

Just one chance

To catch you
