PUSH

Sleek quick-silver chassis

wrapped round the chorded frame.

Perpetual motion,

yet

still as still as

death.

Stuck.

Trenched up.

 

Snorting vapor

furious with agitation.

PUSH.

--HWASCTH-ASCTH-ASCTH!--

 

Magnificent pounding of a miscellaneous myriad!

Clambering cantering collective!

Terrible! Terrible! Fearful Power!

 

Simultaneously sprung:

Great beast and galloping wagon train stampede.

Not usually very fond of onematopoeia but I feel like it works here.
