Poem

(composed in head as woke up)
Mid yawn, self suffocation 
Out of your control 
No fear, you know how it goes
You're better at the end, than at the start
Have faith in the recalibration part 

(Composed in phone notes - most are)
Mid yawn, stretch til pain
Involuntarily aspiration til clear
When required they'll take over from here
Though you weren't involved before
Illusion of self, top drawer con, forevermore 

(Composed whilst walking)
Mid yawn, standing out
With something you can catch if you look
We're all right here, on the hook
Not recalling the forever of in-between 
Mouths open in unscream of silence we've seen 

(Composed on the laptop)
Mid yawn, all I can do is pause
As my mind reaches to grab a thought 
Then gives in, gives up, wholly caught
Then released, settled, swims on like before
Best not to dwell on when you glimpsed hell

(Written in 3 minute window of time)
Mid yawn, do I panic in this space
Don't look at me, my lack of control is a disgrace 
To be revealed as needing air, shamefaced
Later consider it is something we share 
Reflection on self to self, I'm quite unfair 

(Written when I considered writing a thought out stanza and retaliated against myself with a random one without thought instead)
Mid yawn, feeling of pleasure
I'll stretch out at my leisure 
Can fake it and make it mid way through 
Bring on what is involuntary, strange but true
Power of suggestion, makes others yawn too

(Written as I had a 2 minute wait outside school)
Mid yawn, replicates the moment I was born
First gasp for air delivered despite being scared
Each one then seems easy as momentum kicks in
We end where we end and begin as we must begin

(Written lay in a hammock)
Mid yawn, feel the breeze in my hair
Unhurried for now, pushing back any cares
A headache reminds me I've not paid my dues
And a tumble of worries try to irk and confuse 
So I just close my eyes in the hope it'll diffuse

(Still in hammock)
Mid yawn, ponder the yawns I have caused
I've yawned myself silly writing this of course 
Some of you will cite me as the reason for yours
As long as not followed by multiple snores 
Don't advise me I'm boring, just please ignore

(Composed watching swimming lesson)
Mid yawn, unassociated with lack of sleep
Unknown elements to me run deep
My thinking is not akin to my peers
It concerned me at times over the years 
As I embrace authencity, mostly that clears 

(Composed with intent to write something slightly decent but I've used up all my ideas)
Mid yawn, filled lungs and stalled responses 
A paralysis consumes until air ensconces 
Seconds overtly stolen from day
Publicly incapacitated, in takeover display 
Don't question, don't question, the herd will say

(Composed in open collaboration with David Kavanagh)
Mid yawn, distortions of time and self
Consciousness shifts like a book on shelf
I hover between this state and another
Both under sheets and ‘neath the cover
Mysteries within I have yet to discover

Mid yawn, I face my human condition
On my deathbed with an act of contrition
Hollowed out eyes view abhorrent scenes
Inverted symbols, bring fentanyl dreams
Nothingness bleats directly into my brain
Reaper nods off, I’m off the hook it seems
