view from the top

When you start at the bottom,

you will not levitate by wishing

or whining, it’s just not fair;

stack crates and junk to climb,

ask a friend to lower a rope or offer a hand.

When you start at the top

no ladder is necessary.

There’s no where to go but down

but you pay someone to ferry you around

for a night on the town.

Remember, there’s no shade at the top;

take some sunscreen, wear a hat.

Breathe deep, the air is thin.

The top is slippery; take a selfie as proof,

because you might fall off.
