Bio:Adriana

That much talent and so young
not to mention the push of artist
parents. Careful gal, it’s too
amazing and that little twist
of your head when you perform
like a shrug at how you got here.
Already friends of yours are lost
to Rx or a smoky haze. You’re
feeding on poem-blossoms,
tossing off sugar shot, every
line sweet, hard to miss. Cau-
tion! I’ve seen it before, the kid
full of talent, too much too soon.
Only you’re too practiced, the mike
pressed to your lips like a lover,
the black costume, the wide-
eyed stare at anyone who would
dare to doubt. Maybe the real
beware is for the old guard wit-
ness to your coming.

-David B. Axelrod
