A used book.

When I buy a used book and see
someone made notes but stopped
at some mysterious page. I
wonder what happened to her.
Did she die? Was the book misplaced?
I expect a written explanation.
But there is none. Then I wonder
if I will read that far and will I
even make any discernible mark.
The annoyance turns into
anticipation as I turn the page.
