Autobiography in five short chapters

byPortia Nelson

I

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost ... I am helpless.

It isn't my fault.

It takes me forever to find a way out.

II
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.

III

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.

IV
I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street.
