universe than yawns between
those on the hither and thither
side of vital experience.

You yawn to equalize the
pressure on your eardrums.
This pressure change outside
your eardrums unbalances
other people's ear pressures,
so they must yawn to even it out.

I was learning the importance of names --
having them, making them --but at the
same time I sensed the dangers. Recognition
was followed by oblivion, a yawning maw whose
victims disappeared without a trace.
?Josephine Baker
Cherish forever what makes you unique,
'cuz you're really a yawn if it goes!
