Autobiography in five short chapters
by Portia 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.

I walk down another street.
