Letter of RecommendationI opened the door and a man stuck a fork in my eye.It popped out."Thank you," he said, and hurt, I sat on the grass outside.I slept hard.I woke restlessly.A woman with my balls asked, "Did you want these?"They were on a platewith a melon-scoop and a pair of scissors steeped in blood.I struggled.She left.A policeman came by with a letter and my belongings,vandals in tow."Looks like they actually have legal right to these," he said."Look at this."I held my eye in front of the page and saw my letterof recommendation."He's a fine pupil; hmmrn, I feel compelled to be honestHe's got fine eyes, pretty fine pupil, pretty blue irisand balls to spare.I recommend you help yourself to them while they're good,they're all that's left."Matthew Burden5
