Taekwondo


Watch the Taekwondo
and just have a look at the referee.

Take the away the two armour-plated women
jiggling and trying to kick each other in the head
and you have yourself a contemporary dance piece
of awkward beauty, strange grace, and androgynous
sexiness.

She bends, she stoops, she does a darting half turn, and her tie is still straight.

Occasionally she emits a dangerous but controlled syllable.

If I were ever to be married
I would want a Taekwondo referee to officiate.
