Tao Te Bones (was: Academia as a Conlang)

The innominate bone that can be named
Is not a true bone.
Its name is not a true name.

The skeletal system
Begins in the innominate;
The pelvic girdle
Is the mother of the 206 things.

So the X-ray machine
Sees what it can see
And the X-ray technician
Sees what he expects to see.
