By Portia Nelson from There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk

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.

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 this 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.
