[i]came across this poem recently...i found my mirror

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters


I. I walk down the street.
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost.....I am helpless;
[i]it isn't my fault. [/i]
It takes 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;
[i]but it isn't my fault. [/i]
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.
[i]It is my fault. [/i]
I get out immediately.

IV. I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
[i]I walk around it. [/i]

V. I walk down a different street.
