Autobiography in Five Chapters
by Portia Nelson
Chapter 1
I walk down the street. There is a large 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 large hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I'm in the 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 large hole in the sidewalk. I see it there. I still fall in. It's a habit. 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 large hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
Chapter 5
I walk down another street.
