Recommendation
To whom it may concern, I recommend this student
without reservation. I’ve taught him in three courses.
I know him the way one knows a small seaside town
after window shopping its main street. I’ve seen him
cry once. He handed in a paper on utopias
despite his parents’ protracted divorce.
When I read a perfect transcript, the string of As
also sound like a scream. I often think of the scene
in Alice in Wonderland where the servants paint white roses red
because the queen had ordered red roses for the garden.
