Title overlay: Exquisite Telethon

Renzo Sixlove

"Welcome back to the Exquisite Telethon, the world's longest-running literary experiment.

Call in. Share your soul. No stanzas too low, no couplets too high. Prose? No problem! Our operators have heard it all."

Operator 1

"Hello? Oh, don't worry, I have one right here. Oh, okay. Starts with a Q. The word is quixotic."

Operator 2

"All right. The word is banana."

Renzo

"How playful. How amusing. How can we weave this jolly little juxtaposition into our piece?

Like yesterday's tuberose, fragrant with elegant despair...

Quixotic. Banana.

Here we break from tradition. We say quixotic. We say banana.

But what we really say is, we are alive!"
