Everybody's Autobiography
Chapter One
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.
Chapter Two
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's not my fault.
Chapter Three
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.
Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter Five
I walk down another street.
Chapter Six
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the pavement.
I pretend I don't see it.....Written by Portia Nelson, lovingly contributed by Judy Okumura.
