Smelly

Clammy with excitement
Hands fly across the face of the controller
Across the face of the board

Migrated East
Strange birds sit cross-legged in piles

Stations and booths hold wonder after wonder after wonder
Lines stretch out in right angles
Held up by concrete floors and expectations

What brings you here, Free Heart?
I hear only

A chorus of nerd farts
