Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

                 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 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 this 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... but,

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.
