Peter Rennick's Conversion of the Pizzicato Questionnaire into a Valentine

Peter, I love this lololol....

Great poem!

I sense a text feed into a cut-up/generator, but you picked and edited into pure poetry for sure!

I am off to a hot bathtub and the early nineteenth century.

Aaron Burr bought "secret hosiery" for the Godwin girls (Mary Shelley and her sister). He carried it home in his pocket so the step-mother wouldn't see. One time, when he was feeling particularly low, he even invited the girls to his little bedroom to jump up and down on the bed or something.

Imagine.

I wonder if he asked to see his presents being appreciated.

Why is this starting to sound like a Shriners convention hotel room?

Aaron Burr was a very sad man. There's more than one reason he got his ass kicked out of America.

He had an interesting proposition for Napoleon.

Philip Whalen said he wants to write some sonnets later and asked if you wanted to play?



     PIZZICATO VALENTINE


What’s your favorite collision
roygbiv Roy G Biv

repeat at mockingbird speed
I love me some songs

enough to maul them
with my tattooed voice

in the beginning is the future
we’re already over that I am

that’s my favorite translation
of one juvenile’s 9-1-1 tape

I love hollyhocks who wake me
at two and four and eight

to lose my water (I hate that word)
no new naked baby to warm my bed.
