A Poem I like.

Poem In Five Chapters. By, Portia Nelson

Chapter 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. Chapter 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 ---- but it isn’t my fault. . . . It still takes a long time to get out. Chapter 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 is a habit.My eyes are open. I know where I am.It is my fault.I get out immediately. Chapter IV. I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I walk around it. Chapter V. I walk down another street.
