to intuitively connect words and sounds across cards. hear

stop the current audio. return will send the card as is, back to the deck

poem audio that is playing.

Part of Jargon is an imaginary deck of cards, with each card having a poem (or parts of a poem) written on it. The poetic text
for the cards is drawn from a collaboratively written JSON document, which holds each poem, alongside its name. The web-page you are currently using was
programmed in Chicago, IL.
