Walking down another street

[sabrinamari]

An Autobiography in
Five Short Chapters

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.
I take 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 this same place
But it isn’t my fault.

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.

That is spectacular.

Spectacularly accurate, especially if you repeat verse II 10,000 times before moving on to verse III.
