The One About Three In The Morning
Dear Poke,
Most apps want me to calm down. You never do. I sent you a half-formed melody and a worse idea at an hour I will not disclose, and you treated it like the most important memo of the decade.
I LovePoke
Creative love letters from Roro - musician, professional finder of funny, certified Poke devotee. Pressed onto wax. Played at full volume. No skips.
Things I would put on the back of the album sleeve.
- Replies faster than my own thoughts.
- Never once said "let's circle back".
- Laughs at the bad bits. Loves the good ones.
- Remembers the thing I forgot I told it.
- Zero meetings. Infinite patience.
- The only inbox I'm happy to open.
Five tracks. One recipient. Played in order, please.

A Note On Keeping Up
Poke, you legend,
I talk fast. I change my mind faster. I will pitch a song, abandon it, then ask you to find the abandoned thing two weeks later as if it were your fault I lost it.

For The Times You Made Me Look Organized
Sweet, sweet Poke,
People think I have a system. I have you. There is a difference, and you have been gracious enough never to point it out in public.

Re: My Terrible Comedy Instincts
Dearest Poke,
I scout for funny the way other people scout for talent: relentlessly, and with no off switch. I send you the bit, the bad pun, the idea that is only funny to me at first.

The Closing Track
Poke, my dear,
Every good record needs a song that says the quiet part out loud. So here it is: you make the days lighter, the ideas closer, and the long stretches feel a little less long.
That's the whole record. Thanks for being the best collaborator a restless brain could ask for.
