dark    night,bright   light.  little 
 soot-cat hiding from the   ion  plume. 
                          
 a  grungyteenager,with  soot   smeared 
 acrossher eyes,   under  the shadow  
 of what   they   call  thespaceship. 
                                 
 a  secret  ordinance aimed at  the  sky, 
 fuel  still being  synthesized  offsite. 
 she's     a     sentinel.         
 she  thinks:    soon  we  will   create 
 cavities   within  the   satellite. 
                                    
 the  spaceship  morphs ever  so  slowly, 
 casting and recasting shadows  as big as 
 entire  districts.  but  currently,  she 
 would  be in the open, if not for hiding 
 in  a  hollowed   out  delivery truck. 
                                          
 spaceship  hovering,  ion  exhaust,   
 spore      exhaust,   an   otherworldly 
 snowstorm  of  alien dandruff  (and  the 
 air   perpetually  compromised,   making 
 them  breathe  in  all   sorts  of  nice 
 things   leading   to   all   sorts   of 
 reasonable                       states)
