Ping Pong and Driving in L.A.

Ping Pong and Driving in Los Angeles

Don’t think too hard about what is coming at you.
From behind, a swerving lime green Camero
just focus ahead on the cars which
stay in their lanes and keep their speed.
Your opponent is raising his paddle,
ready to hammer the ball down your throat,
don’t think about it, or shrink away,
just focus on it and try to somehow get
it back across the net, nothing fancy.
Ping pong and traffic in L.A.
breathe, focus on what you can control,
it may be only yourself
and that’s on a good day.
