AMISH REBELLION
Beth Anne Royer

Edgar
When not annealing and soldering your Amish bicycle
do you study the farming methods native to Holmes County, Ohio?
Or do you plan to cycle further—all the way to PA—
Where the cows are fragrant and the buggies promiscuous?

Edgar
How to explain the tattoos? Extended Rumspringa?
Might you revamp the crucifix on your mid-back
into an illustration of expert barn raising?
Will you give up cigarettes for Lancaster?
Fold grain into the soil in Media?
Survive the trip over the Rockies on your recumbent bicycle
without the worldly distractions of your Clash tapes,
without the benefit of advanced fibers?
Will you abandon your zippers at the continental divide?
