How Do You Read Life’s Totem Pole?

How do you read life’s totem pole?
It’s alien to me.

From top to bottom
or bottom to top

is existence

toppling with a squeeze-toy,
a small green man with many eyes
settling upon
a curious light of friendship?
Or, is his base a warrior
co-piloting foundation?

From bottom to top
or top to bottom

how do you read life’s totem pole?
It’s alien to me.
