"Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast" - Lewis Carroll

This is my paper cup
Filled to the brim
With metaphors.
These are my dragonflies
Whose graceful bodies
Lift me off the floor.
Here's my hourglass,
It's stuck in place,
Keeping time still.
Hear my radio?
It plays the same song
To keep space filled.
We make our way
Through the universe,
My dragonflies and I.
We have no place
In the universe,
We really don't mind.

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;
