Can a Laurent polynomial be written as one exponentiation?

Polynomial with positive exponents can be written as one exponentiation with a constant term. For example, the quadratic function $f(x) = x^2-10x+35$ can be written as $f(x) = \left(x-5\right)^2+10$.

Laurent polynomials include functions such as:

$$f(x)=x+x^{-1}$$

Can a Laurent polynomial with negative exponents be rewritten as one exponentiation with a constant term? If so, how could the above function be rewritten in this form?
