beautiful people

you don't
want beautiful people
to be smart
too.
you want them dumb,
unable
to function
in a complex
world.
it isn't fair
to have both.
you are never surprised
when they
can't spell
or put a thought
together
or make change
at a cash
register.
you want them
working the night
shift,
bringing coffee
to your table.
you want to nod
in agreement with
your average looking
friends and say,
she or he never had
to learn anything,
just look at them,
how beautiful they are.
let's hate them
together.
