Glimpse

The click of the ping pong ball back and forth a tight fist on the end of a paddle.
The loud, and increasingly loud, voices of teenage boys negotiating the next turn.
Laughing, horseplay, the mix of pitches.
Up and down and awkward energy all mixed up around a ping pong table.
Sorting out power, and authority, hierarchy and status.
On verbal jab, one ping pong ball slam at a time.
