heads or tails

And so he'd let the coin decide.. 
Or rather that what holds the coin and mores one side come settled from once thrown high. 
But yes, 
the coin, 
Though face and back do stand alone 
and from that stance can only know but half of what is whole, 
that half they know, 
to them, 
is no less all,
than what to us is only all as undivided both 
and in that way once coin does fall, 
what fractions flat exposed, 
Is choice resolved.
and as now fact of matter, 
half becomes the whole.
But now we play with fore and after 
and as this moment hasn't stopped or slowed, we're forced to ask 
if could perhaps this moment that we've hoped to capture 
and grasp it as our own, 
is more akin to moulded plaster
than is to uncut stone...
