And some folks skilled at the other.
Still others are lousy at both.
That this is part of the normal
Distribution curve of humans,
However, isn’t accepted.
The same goes for many pairings
Of culturally important
Behaviors—their distribution
In the population follows
The elegant swoop of bell curves,
The supreme law of unreason,
But every individual
Gets a moral or essential
Character evaluation.
The evaluations follow
Still more normal distributions,
But knowing as much won’t help you
On the wrong tail end of some curve,
Nor hurt you if you’re highly skilled
At some coveted behavior.
