AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS

By

Portia Nelson

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.


I think I am between two and three. Wonder if I will mange to walk down another street in this life.
