Ping Pong

So a man
said to me
that Zen
was like ping pong,
but I didn't understand,
because
when my sister and I
played ping pong
as kids,
I loved it,
but only
when I was winning,
and since
my younger sister
got so much practice
playing ping pong
with  me,
she got much better
than me,
and began
to whip my ass,
so then
I quit,
and I don't think
that Zen
is like that,
but that kind of thing,
this winning and losing,
is what bothers me,
about sports
and art
and everything,
and Zen says that
the loser wins,
but losing
makes me unhappy,
so I don't really think
that being a pathetic loser
like I sometimes think
that I am,
is so good,
so that's why
I gave up ping pong,
but I won't give up
art.
