I'm sure you've all seen this. I love it! I typed it for another website so I thought I would share it here!------

There's a Hole in My Sidewalk (autobiograpy in 5 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.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II.

I walk down the same street.
There's 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...but,
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.


V.

I walk down another street.
