  8. The Moped Army At first, the sound is faint. Retro-innovation mowing the lawn, Making its way across town, Ancient Italian technology, Inspiring confusion and awe, Mostly just confusion. Here they come, A testament to the two-stroke, Rusted engines attached to bicycles, Ridden by the modern hooligan Carrying bottles of hooch, And repair kits. Their wake is empty, Save for a passed out punk or two. They belong to nobody.

  9. Anon.
