I lost some electronics last week; the Verizon person replaced big parts. The new WordPress editor is unwieldy. I’ve had extra headaches and added issues in the building. Sleeping has been harder. I’ve fallen behind and feel sorry for that.

Yawnism
x
When we’re tired
When we need an extra breath
Impulsive
Expresses boredom,
I suppose
If we could do it on cue
Mainly,
I think it says
It’s time for something new
Getting up or sitting down
Moving
Or less movement
The diaphragm needs to
Push on the lungs
And now;
Waiting would not be prudent
As trying to suppress it shows
Like most activities,
It is a process
Animals, we may believe,
Do it not for show
But smoothly
And in purity,
For real
x
Ingenuous about offense
(or is it ingenious?),
We could follow them
Meaning to signal
Nothing more
(to take away)
Than
Everyone wears out

I’m intrigued! This kitty kind of wants to make me yawn too…yawns are very contagious! 😊😊😂

Yes, they are! The kitty and animals in general are so good at yawning, aren’t they?

I have taught them in the act enough times! 😂😊

Yes, I admire the way that animals yawn so un-selfconsiously. I think if we took cues from them, we’d breathe and sleep more easily.
I hope you’re well in these hard times.
