Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
1) I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost . . .
I am hopeless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in . . . it’s a habit.
My eyes are open I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately
4) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
