AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BOUNDARIES



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.

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.

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.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.


I walk down another street.
