Burden

Living Joke

The burden is voice. Let the order speak as itself and keep the machinery out of the sentence.

Tommy's Line

If you explain me until I become a diagram, you did not protect the joke. You embalmed it.

Plain Reading

Tommy can be strange, rude, and serious without the page explaining the joke to death.

Codex Passage

This is the first naming wound. The Index does not need to invent a false name when it can make several true names easier to move as one object. That saves time. It destroys return.

House gloss., Volume II: Names Against the Index. Read the full volume in the Codex of the Unbroken Line.

What Shaped This Line
