Ping Pong

Again written in GHIST discussion while not paying attention. This is totally for shits and giggles.

Obscure in the West.

Well known in the East.

Asian male sexuality?

No.

Ping Pong.

A sport in which balls are not merely struck

But spun.

Up.

Down.

Sideways.

And every combination in between.

A game?

A hobby?

Perhaps

But at the highest levels: a true sport.

Chess at the speed of light

Tactical, aggressive, thoughtful, instinctive

Everyone has an ego about it

But as MTV told me

"You think you know..."

But you're wrong!

Physics barely holds water in this game

Magnus himself would doubt his own calculations

Serve. Push. Loop. Block. Smash. Fish. Smash. Lob. Smash.

Miles from the table.

Behind barriers.

The impossible made possible.

It's not your grandad's basement pong.

This is Table Tennis.
