"Autobiography in Five 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'm 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.

5) I walk down another street.
