Book Keeping

Book keeping

Life flipping fast like
pages in the book
ranging towards infinite
impossible to know fully
the changes past
in terms of what's been gained 
or lost, wholly. 
Yet today folks want only
to turn them pages back
to what's already been read
with no way of knowing
That they'd who lived then
would choose to flip forward
boldly.
