There's A Hole In My Sidewalk by Portia Nelson
Autiobiography in five short chapters
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 street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes along 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... it's habit.. but my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediatetly.
Chapter4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
chapter 5
Iwalk down another street

Sure am glad you (who ever you are) learned not to walk that same street.
