24 | _It's all [jokes][]_ Paul wrote in what he was now calling his Hymnal. | ||
25 | He had been writing non-stop all day, because he didn't count pee or cigarette breaks. | ||
26 | _All art is an inside joke. | ||
27 | The symbology involved must be_---and here he put down his pen and held his head in his hands. | ||
28 | He could never think of the word---he said often that he had no words. | ||
29 | He opened to a new page in his Hymnal. | ||
30 | On the top of it was written in bold script _**HYMN 386: JOKES**_. | ||

32 | Paul scowled. | ||
33 | Who had written in his Hymnal? he wondered. | ||

37 | He realized simultaneously that | ||

40 | (b) that this was something he wondered every time he spoke his thoughts out loud. | ||
41 | |||
42 | He resolved to put the issue to rest by asking someone. | ||
