grammar - It is possible + infinitive



It is not possible to keep abreast of the normal tides of acquisition. (Source)




Can someone analyze this sentence?



My first thought was that the infinitive 'to keep' modifies possible, but then I started to doubt myself because if you make the infinitive the subject, the sentence has the same meaning. You can say "to keep abreast of the normal tides of acquisition is not possible".



What say you?
