A Po-em...A Hole in My Sidewalk

There's a hole in my sidewalk - Portia Nelson

Chapter 1.

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.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 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 am in this same place.

But it isn’t my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it is there.

I still fall in… its a habit.

But, my eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault.

I get out immediately.

Chapter 4.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

Chapter 5.

I walk down another street.
