AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS

1) I walk down the street.

There is a huge hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I’m lost….hopeless.

It’s not my fault.

It takes forever to get out.

2) I walk down the same street.

There is a huge hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend that I don’t see it.

I fall in again.

I can’t believe that I’m in the same place again.

But it’s not my fault.

Still, it takes me a long time to get out.

3) I walk down the same street.

There is a huge hole in the sidewalk.

I see it.

Still I fall in…it’s a habit.

My eyes are wide open.

Already I know where I am.

It’s my fault.

I climb out quickly.

4) I walk down the same street.

There is a huge hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

5) I walk down a different street.
