Book of the Week

There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk

Portia Nelson

One of the poems in this book is called, “Autobiography in Five Chapters”. This fantastic poem was written by Portia Nelson.

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 me forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2

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 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 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 deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5

I walk down another street.

Shame on the architect of this building.

I don’t know if this is an actual building,

Decluttering Tips

Damaged items

Holding on to a favorite mug that’s chipped or a necklace that’s fallen apart? Time to let go. Be honest about what things are damaged and toss them.

If you are planning to sell damaged items, they probably do not have the value you are assuming they have.

The same goes for things that are missing parts. For instance, Tupperware with a missing a lid, should go into the recycling bin.

  1. Not one, but two records, that’s awesome, Bill. Congratulations! The poem from There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk is fantastic.

  2. Thanks for clearing up what Veterans Day is my Dad and our family celebrate Veterans Day since he hung up his Army National Guard Uniform.

  3. How relatable the sidewalk poem is, and when you finally go around the hole, people start questioning why you are no longer falling into it, why are you avoiding it, smh.
