There she goes writing her book

not bothering to give anyone a second look

as she is engrossed in her words and verses,

typing away on her laptop and rehearses

every line she writes in her head

and she keeps writing until she goes to bed.


There she is with her ombre hair,

green and blue like the character she created over there

back in 2012 when she thought she in love

and realized that she was in love with the idea of love.


Madeline Adella Rivers is what they call her,

the girl who raced by and looked like a blur

in a small painting filled with people—

she was the prequel

to the name M.A. Rivers.
