Hear me babel on about Babylon. Harvey and I have gone into this library a few times in my derisory joys. As we sift blindly through the noise. Plenty of books that I haven't read yet, and I haven’t even explored my own family’s library. A multitude that my parents and forefathers collected that I have even curated, but oh contrary. There’s still 6 bookshelves overflowing, fiction and facts alike, crammed into the home. From prolific authors of the past 8 decades, I’m already behind on the physical tomes. All inviting me to just read. But life was too busy, life is always too busy, to even take heed.
And then there’s the library of Babel, where all the books can easily fit. There we explore, not to find meaning in the gibberish, but to play with it. Finding a coherent word of 6 characters is rare, and it just gets harder from there. A few sentences is unimaginable, but thanks to technology, I can type out Harvey’s song. The library even has the exact lyrics and specialized spacing indexed in ... 10^29 books for anyone to sing along. The search results were just random, so how’s Hexagon 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,
Wall 1, Shelf 5, Volume 26, Page 4 sound? If you’d like to read about an old forgotten Broadway tune, I invite you to see what I found!
After a few random choices I went with this one, the book title of “gbzzrw.” didn't mean much to me. But I thought to take one step back to look over the spines on the whole shelf, just out of curiosity. And there, just 18 books to the left was “arvey”. Amusingly, One letter off. If there was just an added “h” to the beginning of that spine, my mind would have been utterly lost. The fact that it is so close to his name makes me smile uncontrollably, he’s such a tease. Information absolutely useless to anyone, the only aspect of my life that I can appease.
So there I sit, trying to observe how Harvey uses the books, face to face. I’ve tried to mirror him so much, to incorporate all the rabbits of my life into him. Look at how he sits, flipping through levitating pages with such grace. I’m just beginning to learn how to hold one in my hand, I am certainly not as good of a ghost because of what I am. Gaze upon yet another poorly crafted illustration, where my hands struggle to contort. Trying to incorporate all that I have seen and read from Borge’s short. A rest room and a restroom in each hall, stairways going both ways spiral around the wall. I added an extra mirror to create reflections into the endless call, 6 items in each hallway to match the 6 sides of every room in all.
