#pong
if the reason
for existence
is no longer
a thing
then what?

Staying awake all night long
Taking turns playing Pong

We spoke, each raising voices,
as verbal ping pong game
continued.
I sitting on an invisible
Goddess throne,
believing I was justified.
And he, thinking
with limited perspective
that he could dishonor me.
We spoke continuously,
each trying to control discussion
UNTIL, I took a breath and realized
quiet was best solution.
Till I realized,
that it was better to walk away
and tend to my life
leaving scribbling to the squirrels.

Ping Pong World Champ Andrew Baggaley,
Wow that lad can really play.
Dethroned the “King” who came from Russia,
Then 1966d that kid from somewhere near Prussia.

Oh paddle, oh paddle, where could thou be?
You've shown me a place,
Where not my eyes, could see,
You've become a place, a part of my soul,
You're the key to a puzzle,
One that makes me whole,
A material of my passion, thou takes't a hold,
Without you I am feeble, Skills less than bold,
100's of matches, you've helped me win,
Now without you, again I must begin,
To move on, is something I must do,
Sad to see you go, I must bid you adieu,
Playing without you, will never be the same,
No matter how many times people may tell me,
Our time together was more than just a game.
