How it’s done
You start out
a beginner
work your way
to intermediate
and advance
to advanced
until you find
you have gone
from rookie
to master
and now
you discover
yourself
to be
a youngish
elder statesman
and the next
generation
of newbies
look to you
for inspiration
and advice
on how to
skip a few
steps in the
long
drawn-out
process
of making it
to the top
and you hate
to break it to them
but it all starts
at the bottom
with a mop
