topic: words heard through a yawn

by Amanda L Marron

all the words are jumbled up inside

waiting for the precise moment

to invade listening ears

fatigue overcomes my head

as i go to speak

no one can understand these words

coming out of my mouth

they've been inverted to a different meaning

than originally planned

explanations are now a cause for concern

as they can be taken not as you intended

This scenario sounds too close for comfort...wonderfully understated, perfect for the 'grey' area you're addressing
