Plateau

Elevated, flat, but going nowhere for a while, or possibly ever.

I couldn’t have thought of a better word.

Traveled far and high, blistered feet, bloody knees only to stop, bottom out, flatten out, fade out into something that almost represented a mountain.

Can you imagine? The humiliation of almost being a mountain and settling as a plateau?

Yea me neither.

I couldn’t have thought of a better word.

Taking up a third of the Earth’s land, you must be something special too.

Fuck a mountain, I’ll be the plateau.

There’s space for the both of us.
