[Error Assembling "Atari Roots" code sample]

Hi folks. I know this is an incredibly old thread, but I am also going through the Atari Roots book and have a question about the code listed above. In particular, I'm confused about the .word directives right in the middle of the DL. Can someone please explain why that's there and what it does? It seems like it would totally mess up the display list. Thanks in advance!!
