Bookshelves

The bookshelves methodically ordered with novels in an alphanumeric Congress-style.

Order, the opposite of the chaotic festering to skim the last pages of a reading that took countless battles between author and editor to compose.

Order, the serenity of groupthink, classified by a primary key unlocking the black binary code and locking out the imperfection of referential integrity.

Masking the anxiety-filled reality of higher education, the financial weight of debt, the unrequited emphasis of the ever sinking grade.point.average and the students drowning from the sleep deprivation and intolerable workload.

Order, the classification of books resembling the off-putting jovial vibe of walking through the Law Quad and stopping to take a snap.

Order, the capture of the artificial stillness of time.
