    Ellen Hopkins
    “So you want to know all about me. Who
    I am.
    What chance meeting of brush and canvas painted
    the face
    you see? What made me despise the girl
    in the mirror
    enough to transform her,turn her to into a stranger,
    only not.
    So you want to hear the whole story. Why
    I swerved
    off the high road,
    hard left to nowhere,
    recklessly
    indifferent to those coughing my dust,
    picked up speed
    no limits,no top end,
    just a high velocity rush
    to madness.”
