the letter

you write yourself
a letter
of recommendation.
and put it on
your desk. you
may need it someday.
everything that
she said about you
is not in the letter.
all the wrong
things you may have
said, or even thought
are not in there
too. it's a bluebird
of a letter,
singing your praises.
it's a very short
letter, in fact it's
more of a note.
