Straw Hats
Straw Hats
by
Kevin Trent Boswell
happy, clueless pilgrims
venturing to the Amish land
awestruck by the death of leaves,
the strength of autumn’s hand
noses pressed excitedly
to panes of auto glass
cameras cocked and loaded
shooting horse drawn buggies, as they pass…
rudely slapping their unwilling victims
on to sheets of Kodak flypaper
at the expense of a simple, private people
they'll have volumes of self-involvement to savor
