A few lines that I'm not so sure
Hi,
"In the evening I will fly you to the moon,
to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room,
where we'll stay until the sun shines,
another day to swing on clothes lines,
may I be yawning."
1. "may I be yawning."
Is 'may' used for showing possibility?
2. 'to swing on clothes lines'
Is I, the writer, the subject of the infinitive 'to swing' ?
3. 'to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room'
Is this more like an attic where the writer and his friend stay the whole night til the next day?
Thanks
