On One Foot


I can't help it - I like Sasha Cohen -
I don't mind that she's fragile
or that she falls down -
and I like the Russian Woman
with the name I don't know how to write and
the Japanese skater
who I call the dragon but is no dragon at all.

It is so difficult to be satisfied.

I wrote this poem in March 2006. I found the song later. Then I had the poem tucked away on my hard drive and the song has been in my mind of late. And then I thought they belonged together. But I've been wrong about that before.
