24_Apparently typewriters need ribbon.
25Apparently ribbon is incredibly hard to find anymore because no one uses typewriters.
26Apparently I am writing my hymns from now on._
27So he was back to calling his notes "hymns."
28He looked up "hymns" in the dictionary.
29It said that a hymn was "an ode or song of praise or adoration."
30Praise or adoration to what? he asked himself.
31He thought maybe furniture.
32There was still a lot of notfurniture in what he was again calling his Writing Shack.
33
34The dictionary also had this to say about "hymn": that it was possibly related to the old Greek word for "[weave][]."
35"[Weave what][]" Paul wondered to himself.
36He wrote this down on a new notecard.
37_Apparently "hymn" means weave somehow.
38Or it used to.
39Or its cousin did.
40What is it weaving?
41Who is it weaving for?
42I remember in school we talked about Odysseus and his wife Penelope, who wove a tapestry every day just to take it apart at night.
43I forget why._
44
45_Maybe she wove the tapestry for Odysseus.
46Maybe she wove it for herself.
47What did she weave it of?
48[Memory][], maybe?
49[Or dream][]?
50I think these words make a kind of tapestry, or at least the thread it will be made of.
51I will weave a hymn to the gods of Literature, out of fiction.
52My furniture was a try at weaving, but I am shit at furniture.
53So writing it is again._
54
55He wrote _**NOTES FOR A HYMN**_ at the top of this notecard.
