A Tension

A tension is pointed at 
Star points well known
Light from fires
Or perpetuity's flame
It's a matter of taste
Degree
Time
Until a measurement
Confirms a new denial
How might a one
In a spot
Undoable
Prepare for such an
Eventual misery
As to be proven
Out of sync
With all the dials 
And buttons
So carefully set
According to instructions
