When we've come to owing and not owing,
Then we've clearly lost our place.
We would do well to go back a few pages,
To, at least, the start of the last chapter.
Maybe we should read aloud this time.
We could take turns.
You watch my lips as I read,
And I'll watch yours.
This way we could be sure
That even if we 're not on the same page,
We maybe in the same book.
