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)
