Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Chapter 1…

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost. I am helpless.
I wait and wait but no one comes.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2…

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in again. I can’t believe I am in this same place.
I don’t wait. It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 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… But,
My eyes are open
I know where I am.
I get out immediately.

Chapter 4…

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5…

I walk down another street.No holes.
