One Way and the Many Others

Write to be great or
scribble as a fate? Latter's 
ladder is horizontal, really
just a plaything with only
so far to flail. And up high
is a close relative of yes,
sky, but more importantly,
ground and its lowest
ilk. A glass of milk or 
a milky glass, either 
is prepared to show
the day that eons can
only be built of it.
