Bibliobella's Superniece

When Bibliobella reshelves books she
hears the, Bend it Like Beckham soundtrack
as a soccer ball covered in stickers
barrels past her head and lands in children's
fiction. Between the L's and M's out hops
Sophia Superniece covered in mud
with dark brown eyes like a forest morning.

Bibliobella reads an instruction
manual for soccer as Sophia
practices hip-hop moves she learned at school.
Sophia is able to hop through books
because Aunt Bella informed the taxi
driver of family obligations.
With goal posts up they both run towards the ball.
