Look at a lot of photos of tridents, then analyze what attracts you and what you would like to work towards. Then show us what your goal is, and someone can help you.

I agree with Joanie - cut it back.
I'd cut it back to within an inch or so of the roots and make a shohin of it. That tends to be my prevailing advice...for anything which is too leggy.
You could airlayer it I suppose - but I can never be bothered and it's a bit of a hassle. You may get away with rooting the cut-off top; I believe tridents root relatively easily.
