I wish for the next life
For life to be (as on tape) recorded,
As free to be reeled out at anytime
And when tired as I am now of the present scene,
To be able to skip some and move to the next.

I like this idea, about being able to control our life scenes just as in a movie. But then I think what about surprises.. I sort of like surprises not always, but that makes life somehow interesting the good surprises not the bad ones.. but the bad ones even if we don't want them make us learn something new and also makes us be who we are now days. So lol I don't know if I''ll be happy seeing what will happen in the future if I had chance to control how my life will be.

Either way, I like that stanza.

Surprises add spice to life but then there are particular instances in life when there is so much pain that one just wants it all to pass so as to move unto more pleasant `scenes`.However,I understand that like all scenes in a story add to the development of the plot,every happening in life adds to the overall character of a person based on how they are reacted to.I love your comment;makes sense.
