The Algorithm of the Unattractive
We’re looking for the athletic
lines of a circle, a thoroughbred
in a donkey suit. Everyone wants
a greyhound instead of a St. Bernard.
It’s like a school dance. That scrawny
kid might show you that math
earns more than stealing
bases. We’re looking for tech stock
billionaires, for Babe Ruth
in a land of fitness models.
