a citizen's guide to yawning including one indelible experience 

yawning is best performed indoors

away from the sightline of busybodies.

in the presence of company,

a yawn will be considered rude;

especially while visiting their house during a family vacation slide-show.

(something about having fun with their kids on the Vineyard.)

in 1997 I yawned during the wake of an uncle while burdened with a young

cousin's lamentations,–– but never while listening to the final movement of Mahler 6.

advisory:  don't yawn during the adjudication phase

of your case before the bench. harsher dispositions will follow.

and remember, yawns can be fickle. why, just last month

I nearly yawned for no apparent reason;–– I didn't, but

the "close-call" yawning incident haunts me to this day. there's more,

but I dunno. maybe later when I'll likely have even more time on my hands.
