Poem Iâm pondering Autobiography in Five Short Chapters Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost... I am helpless.
It isnât my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
â
Chapter Two
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I donât see it.
I fall in again.
I canât believe I am in the same place.
But, it isnât my fault.
It still takes me a long time to get out.
â
Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall inâ¦Itâs a habitâ¦but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
â
Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
â
Chapter Five
I walk down another street.â
