NaPoWriMo #11: Flight of the Veyron

It seems cars are becoming a regular feature of my NaPoWriMo journey. We've already had one poem about the legendary Jaguar E-Type, so here's one about the equally majestic speed king itself.

Flight of the Veyron

A thousand horses
imprisoned in sixteen cylinders,
released at the press of a foot
on the throttle.

From the horse and cart
to a car with the face
of a big cat in a trance,
fixated on the track,

on moving in a straight line
faster than any speed warrior
has travelled before.
Hugging the tarmac,

retracting its rear spoiler
like a peacock's train
and tearing down the road
in a blur worthy of hyperspace.
