Record Keeping it is the maintenance of a history of one's activities, as financial dealings, by entering data in ledgers or journals, putting documents in files.
This is most evidently a metaphor. The thing to keep in mind when analyzing literature/poetry is that if you see figurative language making comparisons/drawing parallels between two differing things--instances where the meaning is not literal such as how injustice is not really a fire and has no flames--it's a safe bet you'll have on your hands a metaphor.
