The mural on the side of Crossfit Potrero Hill depicted a ram leaping, perhaps through a cosmic worm hole.

Birds flew in a flock that appeared to take advantage of the air vortex following the ram.

The horns of the ram were echoed as if the ram were moving extremely fast.

The face of the ram was set and serious, and showed no sign of enjoying its speed.

The hooves of the ram appeared to be acting as reverse thrusters, acting to slow the ram down.
